I read a poem at the open mic recently at the Nightingale Lounge in New York City that I announced was incomprehensible but at least it was mellifluous. Only as I started reading it turned out not to be so mellifluous. So I started conducting in curvy wavy melliflous movements with my free right arm. How's that for improvising! (From no-account Robert Mueller.)
Hi Robert,
Your reading sounds like fun.
Here's a stanza from the middle of my poem for Kenward Elmslie (when he was in Sydney a few years ago) called 'Rainy Day in May'
& the rain fell down,
too wet, too sombre & grey,
all afternoon
but mellifluous tenor,
you sang and read,
a Babe Rainbow
brightening the place up,
just like (we imagine) at
Touché’s Salon -
all those synaesthetic pleasures
on,
as it turned out to be,
your saddest anniversary
Pam
p.s.
Of course the lineation doesn't hold here in bloggo message land - the poem actually floats eccentrically on the page
The lines flow like honey, but, as you suggest, they might flow even better if they floated eccentrically like bees. (The all-nameable again.)
