Author's Note: I did a word association and something that constantly came up was music-related topics. I decided to write simply about the sound of music. I am a percussionist so each stanza will represent a different instrument in the percussion family. I worked on incorporating onomatopoeias and a steady pattern through the entire piece. I also chose related the sounds of the instruments to parts of nature. Please leave me feedback.
Peaceful
Like the whoosh of ocean waves
Crashing on the shores
Sending soothing sounds to my ear
Terrifying
Like the rustle of winds
Tearing through the land
Sending piercing sounds to my ear
Relaxing
Like the pitter-patter of raindrops
Falling on the windowpane
Sending soothing sounds to my ear
Powerful
Like the boom of thunder
Clapping in the sky
Sending piercing sounds to my ear
Wow! That was really good. I loved the way you organized it. Your voice was great. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteI love the structure, and the repetition. If I were to criticize this piece, I would say to think of adding something that is more profound, perhaps more elusive than the pure emotional reaction to music. Is there something music addresses that can't be addressed any way else.
