Magnetic Words: Rhythm
Posted on 16. Jul, 2009 by Deb in On Writing
Music is as much a part of my life as words. Not that many nights ago, I had mentioned to The Boy that a constant soundtrack plays in my head throughout the day. My tastes are quite pedestrian to most, but still diverse. I like music I can sing or music that makes me want to dance. Especially music that I can sing, as I’ve been singing for as long as I can remember, though I haven’t done it in public in ages. When I listen to a song, I hear the rhythm of the words and the melody. I’m not much of a poetry writer, though I have dabbled there. I admire a good poem, just as I admire a good book or a good song. Poetry often depends upon the rhythm of the words.
Maybe it’s time I dabble back in poetry a bit.
