[stylist] Word: cacophony

[KajunCutie926 at aol.com]

Thank you Shawn.. that's how I see it...  hey  anymore short verse coming 
from your way?  I finished my book of short and  semi-short verse and it is 
aptly named Bits and Pieces...That book was both a  challenge and a wonderful 
learning experience....

I love it, "feathered baton", that is a cool way to  look at it.  And the 
idea that the discord is a sign of joy at being  alive and well is really 
neat.

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.
