[stylist] Word: cacophony

[Jacqueline Williams]

Is it Myrna? You must sign your beautiful poem. It is a wonderful marriage
of the word and its unique meanings. You have a wonderful take on the word.
I love the Tanka form, not so much the Haiku, but I love the way you have
worked this together.
You are gifted.
Jacqueline Williams

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.
