Song of Creation (Villanelle) by amanda_dcosta The legato reached a fortissimo
Began as a vision piano
Concluding in deafening silenzio.
The baton held high in earnestness
Dividing the light from the darkness
The legato reached a fortissimo.
The sky, the water and land
Dolce notes by the musicianâs hand
Concluding in deafening silenzio.
Mezzo-forte the tone of celesta
Bringing in the sun, moon and bright stars
The legato reached a fortissimo.
Melodic notes sounding choral
Witnessing earthâs plants and animals
Concluding in deafening silenzio.
Maestoso hauntingly forte
Adam and Eve in the garden
The legato reached a fortissimo
Concluding in deafening silenzio.
Up the ladder:
Ode to the Potato
Down the ladder:
Time to leap

Thanks for the rating and comment, Dovina.
Initially when I wrote this poem and posted it at helium, I got a poor rating for it. I think many didn't quite get the terms used and so it must have sounded off (?) perhaps. After I added the glossary of terms, the poem really shot up on the charts, and so I was satisfied that it was a good write. Your rating of 8 is much appreciated. :) 164 view(s)
