i HEAR Calliope Humming?! co-authored with ericcoliu

Dedicated to Rodney L. Eisenbrand whose rodryu constantly surprise me and whose latest rodryu entitled Rodryu stirs my emotions and imagination












Notes:

1 As a form of poetry, rodryu is Eisenbrand-esque senryu. One of Rodney L. Eisenbrand’s personal quotes is as follows: I can't always follow the rules so sometimes I break, umm.

2 Below are the poem text of Rodnyu by Rodney L. Eisenbrand and an excerpt from his reply to the comments on his poem:

Poem Text of Rodnyu

To be born with size
not having to wish other
wise and need extends.


An Excerpt from His Reply:

“Thanks everyone for the read and kind words, this is the only thing I have written in awhile, I need to draw in my thoughts they seem to have scattered lately, I cannot gather together anything coherent enough that I’m able to put it on paper.“ (emphasis mine)

3 Thinking of Li Bai While Waiting for Calliope is presequel to i HEAR Calliope Humming?!:


You promised
you would come to see me.
Through the lonely night,
I waited beneath the blossoms,
wondering if they kept their beauty
even when it was dark.

Raising my cup,
I enticed the moon,
for her, with my shadow
would make a party of three –
the moon knew
you were away from me.

Having never waited,
a woman like you
could hardly know
how long a night can be.



P.S. Any opinions, comments and especially critiques on i HEAR Calliope Humming?! would be much appreciated!

There's nothing quite like a wordless poem with a hefty set of notes. LOL!

Thanks for your discerning eye.

Listen to John Cage's 4'33'' and his view of the music of silence.

John Cage’s 4'33'' --
the music flows
in silence
through the chambers of the heart
