[stylist] Word: cacophony

Thank you Bridget... The morning I wrote that I  thought every bird in the 
south had congregated in the trees next to the  deck...I had never heard 
such noise before..)

Myrna,

I like this poem. I enjoy the musical thread, and it  stays consistent
throughout the poem. I especially like the final stanza  starting with,
"It is not the beauty of song that draws me  outdoors."

Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter

When I saw the word I had to share a piece I'd  written  actually titled 
'Cacophony'.  It is written in a poetry  form developed by  myself and a
friend, 
called a tankabun, a  hybrid if you will of a haibun.   I just hope you 
enjoy the  piece..

Cacophony

Such a discordance
Of chirps,  tweets,  and warbled voice
Makes me wonder
If the master composer
Has   misplaced his feathered baton

It is not the beauty of song that draws  me  outdoors, braving the damp 
frigidity of this winter morning. It  is the  sheer noise!  This is not a

collaborative effort  becoming one avian voice.  This is not harmony of
sparrow and  
wren, warbler and finch.  No, this is an  exclamatory oration  from each,

determined to be heard in their collective   audacity.  I laugh, joining
the 
non-melodious flock, as  realization shivers  through me.  These are the
off-key  
mutterings of winged friends,  discovering that winter has  neither
frozen 
their wardrobes nor silenced their  voices.   The master's baton has not
been 
misplaced after all and even  he  applauds them and this, an impromptu 
composition of feathered   cacophony.
