Category: Senryu Poems About Music and Sound

School
auditorium
The drum set

Last quiet spot
Standing in a
phone booth

Heads spin
Dance songs
on vinyl record

Heads spin
Dance songs pulse
on vinyl record

Banjo plays loud
My Sunday
morning drive

Only breath
The silent pause of
a string quartet

Learning to fly
Tom Petty
in dungarees

Learning to fly
John Coltrane
in reverie

Learning to fly
Johnny Rotten
in recovery

That Bird can fly
Charlie Parker
with mastery

Rising in silence
Turned and facing forward
in the elevator
