Here’s to Cacophony

Are they trying to make it sound (no pun intended) like cacophony is a bad thing?

“In literature, cacophony is used to refer to words that have a harsh, jarring sound. Instead of the text being rhythmic or pleasant, the text is unmelodious…. or poems written in a disjointed way.”

Here’s an example of cacophony: “To be, or not to be- that is the question” (Written by Shakespeare and he turned out pretty good)

So, I guess “cacophony’s” not so bad.

I’ll take a sip of c-coffee to that. Cheers!

Where Poems live

There’s a place were poems live

a secret place well hidden

away from the madness

away from the strangers

where life, with all it’s twists and turns, flourishes and grows.

The place where poems grow

is a never ending pasture

where little sprouts are watered and pruned

waiting to be nurtured waiting

to be harvested by the author.

If I could, I’d spend more time in that pasture

I would feel the creative winds kiss my cheeks

and smell the air left behind from inspiring rains

I would listen to the seasons and taste the warmth of words upon my tongue.

I visit there sometimes

I twirl and dance and run and play

And when I’m tired

I lay on the green and stretch my arms toward the sky

I twirl the clouds around my fingertips

and smile at their tickled laughter

All in that secret place

where poems live.
