Adagio
Heaven seemingly floats upon valley floor, early mornings,
a sleepy, buttercream sun rising slowly, yawning, stretching
its way over mountain along with me, it seems.
There's a melody playing if one listens closely; adagio bird song,
their pace awakens far more quickly than I; andante swoops into allegro,
as hawk soars, wings vivace upon the breeze. My heart flutters
along with it, soon soothed by cows like little black piano keys
upon gently sloping hill, larghissimo, as mist evaporates and clears.

This is linked with "The Imaginary Garden with Real Toads - The Sunday Challenge - Play it Again". I chose "A Word with Laurie - one word: allegro and 8 lines and 1 minute!!! But it took me two minutes to write this. And then I did go back and changed a few words so add maybe another 30 seconds.

"Soon is charmed by the cows like little little black piano keys - bravissimo! The use of various musical terms pulls this whole poem together. I don't care if you took 20 minutes to write this. It is resplendent.
Oh, I love the cows as little black piano keys most of all!
Bravo!!💜 This poem should be set to music 😍😍😍
I do see how much nature and another day waking can be seen as music... love the scenery you paint.
I love that buttercream sun, and all of the musical terms used to perfection. I especially love the hawk soaring with vivace wings.
So beautiful Margaret, and I adore the cows like black piano keys!
Music, music, music .... yes!
I always think of my Julia Child pale yellow roses looking like buttercream sun~ A beautiful poem, but my favorite is the cows looking like piano keys~
Lovely!
Sigh, this is so beautiful. I would love to hear and see the landscape as you do in this poem.
This is beautiful, and you used the music terms so well! I love that "buttercream sun" and "wings vivace upon the breeze." The cows as black piano keys are just plain cute! 😊
