NEW POETRY AS OF 3/5/14

I found this week's assignments (the inspiration from personification and the form of a "found" poem, based on another published piece) particularly difficult.  I finally found a solution to my original inspiration (how music keys feel like colors to me):

CIRCLE OF FIFTHS

Doe a deer, not ABC

More Maria Von Trappe than Mary Poppins

Sound rounding mountain and valley

Circle is music.

C jumps to G and G hops to D

Chords climb higher, snappier

‘Til they explode with seven sharps

Circle is play

D-flat drowns in cave darkness

A-flat flips on flashlight

E-flat, a forty-watt bulb illumines

Circle is light

A, undone and shrill, runs on adrenaline

B-flat offers succor in sorrow

C is both comfort and comfortable

Circle is life.
