Poem of the Day for 12/14/25 If there is to be Singing by Alison McKenzie If there is to be singing, I want to belt it out! Unison and harmonies and discords Majors moving to minors moving back to major 7th augmented Chords, Wrapping and twisting around themselves, Vibrations actualized in music. I want rhythm! Frame quaking in the downbeats, Heart swept in the ups, Feet moving, Those members of antipodal independence, Taking me along for the ride Just for good measure. Crescendos and Andantes, Becoming one with the waves. Oh, but to be a symphony of one? The very nature of music needs more. Even unison requires two. And yet beauty in solo does reside For here am I. 07/10/2004 Visit Alison McKenzie's Library If there is to be Singing Copyright © 2025
