Silent sorrows of the soul.
Weeping inside, but nobody knows.
Angelic music to heal your heart broken, is here with
Nourishing words tenderly spoken.
Effusion of your effulgent spirit
Echo's throughout for all who hear. Sh! Stay silent now!
Wait...for it's our turn to sing to you!
Aeolian harp! Musical sound from it's wind blown strings.
Nearer to God will our blustering path bring.
Discord can always be turned to melody. Listen to the
Aeolian strings, and soar with your wings as you sing!
Author notes
It wasn't meant to be, Swannee. I missed your contest deadline, but here is the poem(acrostic) that I wrote for you!
I am sorry it could not be included in the collection amongst the others. And hey, no koolaid this time...just a little sweet wine...
I entitled this, Music FOR the Swan, but it is just as much music OF the Swan, as it echos her own own inner heart.

Beautiful iction and wonderful encapsulation of her personality! Great write and all my best to you

Nice job on this. Seems like a really good tribute. Good use of language. I think it may be spelled 'effusion' but you can check for yourself if you wish. It is an interesting word to use in that way, but I like your choice. Most of them are great choices. Good stuff.
Peace,
Lo

This is a lovely acrostic for someone who seems to be a pretty special person. Just lovely. That's all I have to say about it.

Well done
What a lovely tribute. The Aeolian harp is a special favourite among romantic poetry's metaphors -
Beautiful. I think is very encouraging. You capture what seems to be her heart and the heart of those who care about her.
-

-
Aww! This is such a sweet thing to do! I love it. I visited her page the other day and she is all of the things people say she is. Great stuff
-
Is this what one calls an acrostic? Oh yes, I see by your author comments. I like it. A little feathery perhaps, but I enjoyed your poem.
-
This is so sweet, a loving poem dedicated so sweetly to a very nice person. well done, too bad you didn't make the contest. great write.

Pendragon -
oh how gorgeous.. simply beautiful. well done and thank you for sharing it
-
Very elegantly and beautifully written Duana. I agree...this could certainly be the music "OF as much as "FOR". You are a very gifted writer Duana and this is just one small taste of your talent. I love reading you. Geat job!
-
this si so incredable. i am sure swanny loves this poem. she is a wonderful aldy and a gorgeous soul who i ender dearly
-
Long live swanee! This poem is great. It truly is the tribute to swanee that is well deserved. She's not gone yet. She won't, she can't leave. Keep it up Duana. Keep inking. ~[]Doetry ][n []V[]otion~
-
wow this was truly awsome that be for sure . I enjoy this poem of your. I think that it was really grand . i thank you so vey much for sharing it.
-
Oh, and sorry....of course, thanks for your lovely comment. I am glad you liked it.
-
Isn't it simply ironic that the typo happened in melody, as the poem speak the sorrows helping to create the melody? Those good old Fruedian slips happen even in typos!
-
oooo. me little head gets it now. wow. That's beautiful!!
Amazing. wow! -
Chocolate,
Think strings equal swannees heart, and the hearts of those at AP
wind equals sorrows
The last part of the poem reflects the first(as an echo to her heart but coming from the beautiful music of those who supprot her).
Those are just hints, and I hope they help!
