Poetry About Music
Poetry about music listens to sound as feeling made audible. These poems move through songs, instruments, rhythm, silence, radios, choirs, headphones, and the way a melody can return a whole life to memory.
Music can console, ignite, gather, haunt, or free us. It enters the body before explanation and leaves echoes where words run out.

Old Song
A song returning memory.
The old song played,
and suddenly
the kitchen was back,
my mother humming,
rain tapping time
against the sink.

Piano Room
A poem about practice.
The piano kept
every wrong note
until the right one
learned courage.
Practice is music
forgiving the hand.

One voice trembled.
Then another joined,
and another.
Harmony began
as people
refusing to sing alone.
