Music to her

English Poetry, Oct-Nov 2011 Contest |
She is pretty angelic
not by her physical
features, charm or appeal
but, she is in possession
of good senses and fine mettle,
capable of sensing music
in almost everything with rhythm.
She listens to the Carnatic
and Hindustani vocals
in the cooing of a cuckoo
in the humming of a honey bee
and jazz music in the heavy rain
with thunder claps.
Feels the music
of wind instruments
in the flow of a stream
and in the whistling of gentle breeze.
Lends an ear to the lullaby, flows
in the muttering of a baby.
Hears melodious music
in the words of the sick and old.
Gifted she is with a fine heart
that transmits the forms of music
to her nerves, ears and thoughts.

@Vishvnand,
Medhini,
Very well expressed.
But I could not guess to whom the poem is addressed.
Who is ‘She”? Music itself?

Apurva, Vishvji & Kusum
Thank you very much for
your delightful comments.
Is there anything wrong
in referring to’ she’ as music
itself or likely minded noble
hearted sensitive ones as ‘she’?
Readers can choose as they like.
Hi
A very grand approach to everyday sounds and their latent music

Beautiful poem ma’am
Medhini,
it took me several reads to appreciate this style of writing. Worth the reads.
“jazz music in the heavy rain
with thunder claps.
Feels the music
of wind instruments
in the flow of a stream
and in the whistling of gentle breeze.” – loved the imagery of these lines in particular.
Ended with a fine thought,
