soundclouds
make your voice
visible
created wavecrests
track your inner geography
in spikes and troughs
channel
convey you
a long hollow
in my earth
your elongated regions
shaped curves
of variation re-encode
your harmonic
and tumble
over me seized
linked
if this is sound
you're releasing
yourself
I visited the soundcloud.com website yesterday for the first time after hearing the collaborative poem on dVerse Poets read on their device. The prompt today is to describe something common from my everyday experience in a new way. What could be more familiar than the sound of my Honey's voice? Our 39th anniversary is in a couple of weeks and their words well describe my experience as an auditory lover. I used some of the very words from soundcloud since I found their process compelling, even fantastic, and immediately poetic. Happy Anniversary, my love.
congratulations =)
ReplyDeletegrazie.
Deletethis is lovely..happy 39th anniversary and...and what better than the sound of the voice of the loved one..big smiles..
ReplyDeleteNothing better!

ReplyDeleteI wanted to write a poem for my Honey and this was just the spark I needed.
Deleteyay...smiles...there is just something about the sound of the voice of the one you love that brings so much...happy anniversary! that is awesome...love the longevity..you dont see that as much these days...i wish you all the more...
ReplyDeleteThank you for your wishes. 39 years seems like a lot but the years have flown and brought such rich blessings. I'm grateful.
DeleteHappy anniversary to come! Lovely...
ReplyDeleteWe're just making plans for how we will celebrate. It's the fun part!
DeleteCould you read your poem aloud with this app? If you did, I did not get it--and now, you leave me wanting the sound of your voice speaking so beautifully about the sound of his voice.
ReplyDeleteI love this poem.
Happy best anniversary and many many more!
This was such a good idea! I uploaded my reading but I don't know how to download it to this site. Do you? And thank you for loving it.
DeleteHappy anniversary! Your devotion and love come thru so clearly. They say that the breath of the body as it speaks is often the most intimate part of beloved that we can know. I think your poem captures that truth so clearly and wonderfully.
ReplyDeleteI love what you say about the breath of my beloved and I'm glad if this poem captures any of that truth.
DeleteI'm no fan of centre-spaced poetry layouts, but the word-choice here is so good and the second-last stanza sits especially well. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, I was experimenting here. My Honey likes the centered- space layout. Me, not so much, but it's for him. I reworked the second to last stanza quite a bit but my favorite was the last stanza.
DeleteHappy Anniversary, you two!
ReplyDeleteGrazie mille!
DeleteThat is beautiful. Happy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteThanks, how are you after the move?
DeleteSuch a beautiful post. Such a beauiful marriage!
ReplyDeleteI consider myself blessed and I'm grateful.
DeleteI love you even more!
ReplyDeleteMy sweet Honey!
