Morning Song

 She writes of the song of the morning

that she heard on a wing and a prayer

She sees all the shapes in the borning

but when she looks close nobody is there

She writes of the sound of the morning

and the growl of the thrumming sea

a growl like a mourning prayer

while birds tumble over in air

Their wings are all tufted and lacy

bright eyes peer back at her stare

She writes from a dream now grown hazy

of a past that she left who knows where

fast tracking back to a feeling

when  she was there

wheeling wildly without a care.

Challenge Day 20:Taking inspiration from Theodore Roethke’s poem “ In Evening Air”  write a poem informed by musical phrasing or melody, that employs some form of soundplay (rhyme, meter, assonance, alliteration). One way to approach this is to think of a song you know and then basically write new lyrics that fit the original song’s rhythm/phrasing.
