Weekly Writing Prompt 17: Prophetic Song For the New Year

It is time to write my last poem of 2015. Using the Secret Keeper’s list of words I am choosing to use the Shadorma form  to sing my way into the 2016.

My necessary words this week are:  | PART | STONE | FLAW | STRICT | NOTE |

Prophetic Song For the New Year

100_1786

by JE Lillie

Still as stone

The old year sounds dead.

Flawed strict notes

Cannot be

Played again. Their parts undone,

I sing a New Year.

Flaws begin

With new notes unheard.

Unrehearsed

Parts falter.

Strict rhythms fall apart like

Water crumbling stones .

A cycle

Then more than a song

Symphony.

Flawed strict notes

My new theme a stone in place

 Part  of larger work.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 13,000 times in 2014. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 5 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
