Music In My Dream Discussion Harnessing your muse

Music in My Dream

Last night, the strangest thing,
there were musical notes on the loose.
I first saw them running up the wall
under the window sill.
They were little black notes
some trailing flags.

None of them were barred
or whole notes and barred
or barred and half notes
or half notes and tied.
None of them were chords.
No treble clef to hang my hat on.

The runaways would appear
then disappear,
But I heard them in the next room;
there were high notes and low notes
with blended notes
and all notes
singing sweet, sweet music.

I tried to capture them
to neatly place them in a book
but they would have none of that,
they simply trilled their song
and ran along.
