Song Book Comments

A beautiful creation nicely put together from the heart...

'now we are an organ, now we are an oboe, now we are young or ancient, now we are smelling wallpaper in the house' - Lines that I loved. a poem that sounds like a song.

in tired reverie of life - You closed your eyes in the wooden stairwell, leaning your head against the wall, knowing a bigger world loomed/// interesting song

Song book says alot about life... Very good poem there................

as she usually does, naomi gives us a good measure of satisfying details. i especially like knowing a bigger world loomed and thrum-full. this is a good variation on writing down what an object summons for us, another example where we see that things can be more than just things. -gk

Dress! ! To address! ! ! ! And to press one button; With the muse of the Keyboard. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

we are still adrift, floating, thrum-full of longing layers of sound. such a fine poem. tony

There is a sweet sound of music in the poet's thoughts, which seem to be lacking in the lines of the poem.

Great write. Congrats on modern poem of the Day.

A fine poem by Naomi Shihab Nye.......
