This was my last attempt at playing with rhyme patterns- in this case ABCCBA. It was an attempt to capture the roundel like feel of some of Satie's earlier works.
It has an amusing History, for it was posted on another Website by a person purporting to be "Little Hippo". I played along with it, because I thought it was a member of one of the Wrters' Groups I went to. However they turned out to be my wife!
She's yet to come onto Great Writing. Eric Satie, did you ever laugh?
Your music so loved by Debussy
Matches Chopin's for innate sadness.
Why could it not assuage your madness?
Your gymnasts that float so gracefully,
Will provide your trademark autograph |

Written by BrianRobertNeal (1195 comments posted) 28th May 2006 | His best compositions date from a time when he could not use standard musical notation. Much of his work as we know it, is a consequence of Composers such as Debussy, arranging it, i.e putting it on staves, giving the notes value and tonality i.e. sharp/natural/flat.
Mind they had heard him play the pieces.
The ABCCBA pattern was an attempt tp get the reader back to the opening line and then hopefully they would recycle one of more times,coming to an end on either the 1st or 6th line,
Brian. |
