It's how the stars are lit at night and how the dew drops glisten How evening shadows mock the light and it's how the silence listens From the gentle sway of trees that bid such fond adieu Songs in a summer breeze a voice so clear, so true The glory of such symmetry so more than fills the eye To the beauty of such poetry this hopeful heart draws nigh In natural peace all love is born To live and thrive each blessed morn 03/14/2017 Poem Of The Week of 3/19/2017 Best New Poem of the Month 4/01/2017

Hi! It's the girl with the choral piece! I'm sorry for the really late comment, but back in grade 10 I feel like my composition skills are not decent enough to wrote the piece for this poem, so I have improved for the past two years and I have finally done it! I will try to find time to do recording with my friends anytime soon, but this is the sheet music with midi file, you can tell me if you like it or not!

this kind of poem is best savored on a park bench where you absorb....the fullness of nature...add feeding some pigeons or maybe a squirrel or two...and everything in the world is at peace with itself

Hi, I’m a gr.10 student who likes to compose, and I’m currently working on a choral piece, and I was wondering if I can use your poem as the Lyrics? No hard feeling if you said no though.

Sure, but I need to find a choir to help me do the recording...

Would it be possible to hear a recording when you have completed your piece? I would love to hear it...

charlie, I just clicked to see your top poem as chosen by members of Soup and it is this gem. I bet I have seen it before but i see there are numerous pages of comments where i probably left my own past comment to you. Congrats on this poem's success.

This is such a beautiful poem Charlie. It is deserving of the honored of POTW! Congratulations my friend! This is the third day I have had no list on the side to choose from at PS. They said it should be fixed but it is not fixed. I can't even click on the member area to try and see what the problem is without the list. I am trying to be patient until they fix the glitch. Have a great weekend. Connie
