Poem du jour: (The numbers notate the place of the words in the list.)

--------------------------------------------------------

While dancing o'er piano keys 1
I finely tune my heart.
Each note or key will always seize 3
the blessings as they start.

The house key lets me wander in 2
to rooms, that I now own.
Piano keys for kith and kin 1
are music's seeds now sown.

My keynote speaker, podcast best, 4
in three-part harmony 6
creates vocals, that will stand the test
with thoughts, that truly free.

The answer key to the speaker's notes 5
can "tickle the ivories" wood,
while the house piano never gloats 7
when the music is quite good.

So, my domicile is a "house of note," 8
so notable the keys,
and every speaker speaks in rote
by three-part harmonies. 6

"Do tell. I pray when tongue is used,"
my friend seems quite perplexed.
"is singing first with speaking fused
like Handel's greatest text?"

"The recitative I joy to sing,
while speaking o'er the notes.
To speak and sing doth truly bring
some moments of great quotes."

Piano keys and house keys ope 1 & 2
the place to one's repose.
A speaker's answers need not grope, 4 & 5
since music's "words" are those.

"O, Gentle Poet, bid thee expound
this feast of unkempt words.
By quickest twister now hath found
thy dictionary blurred."

"O, Peace, dear reader. This Rorschach test
of words hath found a way,
connecting phrases, cute or blest,
placed herein for display."
