[stylist] Word: cacophony

[KajunCutie926 at aol.com]

Jackie, yes, it is Myrna... and yes I usually forget  to sign my poetry.. 
bad habit of mine.  I too much prefer the tanka to  haiku, but I do enjoy 
writing haibuns.  I once had a love/hate relationship  with this form until I 
did a collaborative book with a fellow writer and finally  'got' what the 
tanka truly was.. Now I love them...)
Thank you so much for the kind words... I truly do  appreciate them..
Myrna

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.

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.
