Eyes closed and leaning back She listened to the sonorous yet dulcet, tonal sounds of a voice Comforting to her ears In her mind she pictured him Tall and olive-skinned perhaps The accent so slight and hardly noticeable with an uncommon emphasis on certain syllables Making the most basic word poetic and honeyed in its delivery A soothing balm on a scalded soul Copyright © 2022 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved Laura Bloomsbury is hosting Tuesday Poetics at D'Verse Poets. Today is National Thesaurus Day and she has prompted us with writing a poem as follows: 1. Write a SOUND POEM which includes AT LEAST ONE from EACH of the FIVE HEARING CATEGORY SELECTIONS below: (reference the hearing words you chose in your post). bellow; clink; drone; jingle; quiver; clamour; dissonant; rip-roaring; tempestuous; vociferous; dulcet: honeyed; poetic; sonorous; tonal; blabber; cackle; dribble; gurgle; seethe; beseech; chant; drawl; embellish; intone Feel free to dip deeper into your chosen words by elaborating further from the Thesaurus with synonyms and antonyms AND/OR 2. Simply write about the Thesaurus, as the above poets have – what it means to you; describe it, have fun with it. Let the synonyms flow, or antagonise with antonyms. There are no restrictions on poetry style or meter but those of you who like Acrostics might want to make a nine liner for THESAURUS. I chose the third set of 'Sounds'
Haiku The sounds of the sea On a warm tropical night Soothing, gentle tones Copyright © 2021 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved
Haiku Far in the distance Muffled sounds of animals Calling in the night Copyright © 2020 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved
Hypnotic sounds calling in silver from sitar strings Following though forests of jade jewels Arms stretched wide clutching as rainbows slip through hands Crimson-pink quavers trail from fingertips Words of grey float on clouds scratched into purple sky The rusty refuge sunken deep into monotone memories as a finale of spinning cymbals of gold crash land on symphony’s saffron strands Copyright © 2020 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved Grace is hosting D'Verse Poets tonight and has prompted us with part two of Synesthesia. Today we will incorporate music in our poem from the perspectiveof a synesthete. Create your own Symphony. Infuse your musical experience when listening to a band, artist or musical genre, with colors, sounds & textures. Write a song filled with colors. I was inspired by "Tomorrow Never Knows" by the Beatles from their Revolver album. It is 'trippy' and easy to conjure up colors and movement. Word Prompts Refuge - FOWC Jade - RDP

The sounds of skylarks and curlews
break the stillness of the morning
The sensory architect already at work
A fading moon compromises
giving way to the sun dawning
Mist suspended over water
waiting for warmth to dissipate
The rocks are bathed clean
Gulls squawking in salty air
A traveling east wind invigorates
On a white capped speckled sea
Fisher boats already far from view
Night time now held to ransom
for the day is center stage
adorned in its morning hue
