Lilies, Joan Z. Rough © 2006This weeks prompt was to write about a song. I don't think that the Moonlight Sonata would qualify as a "song," but none-the-less it is music. Enjoy!
Moonlight Sonata
The moon holds its breath
as it climbs crusty limbs
fireflies inform the dark
pinpricks of light
under a bell-jar-sky
Cicadas overwhelm
Beethoven escaping
through open windows
notes falter
begin to rise once more
Agreement flirts with chaos
self-destructing stars plunge
their tails sparking dreams
veiled in cobwebs
nameless faces revisit
moonstruck nights
touching the piano’s heart
lunar reflections
embroidered with sound
The moon blinks
surrenders the dark
scent of morning
drifts from waking lilies

I like the moonlight color of the flower and love the poem. I know I really like it when I think...Wow, I wish I had written that.

LOTS of wonderful images here...very nicely done.
under a bell jar sky
all these images...fantastic.
thank you for sharing this...
(and i wrote about a tango...not exactly a song either but..music all the same)
this one is luscious!
Your imagery was exceptional! Brava!
"Lunar reflections embroidered with sound" - love it! I think I'll copy this out and tuck in my Beethoven Piano Sonata's book for inspiration when I play the "Moonlight."
Absolutely stunning imagery in your poem! And Moonlight Sonata is one of my favourite pieces to play on the piano (back when I had a piano).
