for Fandango’s One Word Challenge (FOWC) of 18 October 2020, sublime.
Fandango gives the word “sublime”,
A brilliant choice to make a rhyme,
As I settle down, try to compose,
Anticipating what might flow.
My thinking cap upon my head,
My pencil it is full of lead,
My mug of tea stands piping hot,
But in my head…. there’s not a jot.
I read some poems, that might inspire,
My effort destined to backfire,
These poems singing like a bird,
So why can’t I produce a word?
I think I’ll just give up today,
Things clearly will not go my way,
The only word I find to rhyme,
Appropriately, pantomime!
Mister Bump 
Creative juice won’t flow today
Perhaps another time?

Perhaps then there will be a way,
A word to partner “sublime”? 🤣

And that’s the way it goes. Sometimes lots of words come in spurts, then nothing for a little while. 🙂

It was an embarrassment of riches today, so many words with “-ime”, so I thought I’d take it in the opposite direction.

It’s so fun to hear your poem out loud, is it that your voice?
The cheering at the end was well deserved!

Yes it is me. The software came bundled with many effects and when I heard this one, I had to use it 😀

I notice a difference – I spoke better before the stroke. But you will not hear what I hear.

Thanks, Olga. I meant to say, following your post before, you might like Cap’s blog https://clamarcap.com/, he likes to post lots of classical on there – a lot of it I like, but it is a real learning curve for me. I have no idea how I got to know so many Italians!

I checked the music blog. It’s great! I used tu sing in a chamber choir renaissance music. The page and its scores brought me good memories.

he has posted quite a bit of choral lately, although I have discovered that the pieces I am drawn to are for piano.
I was a very good soprano as a child, but I lost interest and stopped studying altogether at age 16. I still enjoy it, but there is lots I don’t know.
My flashback post this week will be a C20th classical. I think we are about coming to the anniversary.

I wrote this post about a year ago https://mrbump.uk/2019/11/01/little-cherub/ It’s more about my feelings for relidion but it documents how I got started. From this, I studied it at school until 16. Some pieces I grew to appreciate, a few to love. So I enjoy listening to Cap (who said, I think, that he had authored books on the subject), but I am often hearing a composer for the first time.

I also studied at school until sixteen, and grew to love (you will know them): Faure Requiem, Mozart Clarinet Quintet, Arnold Scottish Dances. And grew to hate Beatus Vir. And grew to forget all the others 🤣.
