Hello, dear Word Weavers –
This week I’m returning to the theme of poetry being inspired by, or commenting on, another art form. During this April's NaPoWriMo we were often asked to focus not only on visual art, but music as well, in some specific way in which it had impacted our life. Or we were asked to let a piece of music influence the poem in some way, e.g. by sound or rhythm. I found that referencing the music was often enriching to the writing.
We were usually asked to relate how a specific piece had impacted our everyday life. Musing on that just now, I found myself thinking of how I thrill whenever, as I'm walking around town, I hear a busker break into some tune I know and love.
So, as your prompt this week, I invite you to think of a piece of music which affects you emotionally whenever you happen to hear it played – whether it warms your heart or brings back different reactions – and tell us what this particular piece has meant to you in your life.
Guidelines: Link your ONE piece on Mister Linky, below. 369 words maximum (excluding title and notes). Old or new writing, poetry or prose, on prompt or not. Enjoy each other's responses!
Next week, we'll invite you to explore anger as healthy fuel.
