A Distance Too Fond

A Distance Too Fond

A Poem by Erin Thomas

Here I am, in menuet,

Where all I really want is regret.

I beg you in sarabande,

From a distance I am too fond

 

Of taking things in allegro.

Now waiting for you to respond

To my scherzino

All melody, bar the casino

 

I can’t gamble

No preamble.

A kiss, hold the fermata

Don’t let go.

 

Hanging on my only crescendo.

Time you waste for innuendo.

My heart beats a flutter of vibrato

Even with a beat reply staccato.

 

I live in a perfect melody

Where I all I want is your complexity.

The dark knight, a princess can’t resist

Magnetic discords, the world and pure intensity.

I like your use of musical vocabulary! Very neat and creative

I haven't read anything where I've not known at least 5 words listed on the page before, so that's a first! I see intelligence and I understand the music terms so I'm guessing it's a romantic feel and it sounds like a male waiting for a female to come so he can make the orchestra play their song as she arrives. I would love to know what it really is about, and it seems more imaginative rather than literal which is an uber bonus compared to most poems around! I like the rhythm, the layout and the 4 lines structure - kind of like 4 bars in a song too! A little rhyme never hurts and neither does a big finish!

Wonderful imagery and I enjoyed the the music imagery it was unique in that context. Good work.

Haha very nice. I love how you made great use of musical terminology in this poem and made it come out so beautifully. I can't say that there is any part of this I don't like :D

I agree completely with Rhea. This is original. I'm not sure anyone who's not obsessed with music will understand, though. It's wonderful.

That is absolutely all I can say. 100/100
