Beethoven in the Background

by Curing the Comon Cliche   Jul 5, 2008


The sky is bright with fireworks
Happy fourth of July
Beethoven in the background
I'm in the backyard sipping wine

Poetry is in the air
Dog's asleep at my feet
The fireworks match the rhythm
Of Beethoven's Fur Elise

For those of you who know me well
This is how I am
Humming to a symphony
Wine glass in my hand

For those of you who think
Poetry is in a pen
Poetry exists in many places
Go there and back again

"Wine is bottled poetry" ~Robert Louis Stevenson
^that quote made me smile

    ^^ Isn't that the truth? "Life is just poetry in motion". you have to live to write. maybe that's why i'm having writer's block...
