Trees sway gently to and fro
Waving hi to Spring

#LyrePoem Limerick #3 Afoot
In the wind there is something afoot.
Could be omen, or maybe for good.
It can go either way
And reminds me each day
To treat others the way that I should!
Lyre: 16-string solid body
Tuning: A minor pentatonic (tune all B strings up to C and all F strings down to E)
#LyrePoem Nonet #2 Potatoes
Thank you, Idaho, for all you give:
Potatoes keeping tummies full.
So versatile and tasty,
And they last a long time.
Boiled, baked, fried or grilled…
Fruit of the Earth,
Potatoes,
I love
You!
#LyrePoem Cinquain #2 Dreams
Moonlight
Dances softly
Inviting me to play
And so I ask the Moon if dreams
Come true…
#LyrePoem Haiku #2
Birds are returning
Building nests and laying eggs
Singing songs of Spring
Little Boat – BJL Lyres
Little Boat is a song I wrote in 2020. Take a listen to the melody played on 7-string pentatonic lyre with Pickaso Guitar Bow.
Tuning: D4, E4, F#4, G4, A4, B4, D5.
Arrangement with harmony on 16-string solid body lyre.
And double strung, which is especially beautiful played on 2 19-string acoustic lyres.
#LyrePoem Tanka #2 Peace
Peace whispers softly
In between the waves and storms
Changing sea of life
Take courage in your struggles
Nature thrives! And so do you!
#LyrePoem Cinquain #1 Butterfly
Wake up!
Caterpillar
Breaking from chrysalis-
Fragile butterfly wings open…
Transformed!
#LyrePoem Haiku #1
April showers fall
Blooming flowers rise
Spring time! It renews!
Birth of Spring Improv
Just a little improvisation to celebrate the Spring Equinox, whether or not the weather agrees! Played on Lynda Lyre and called Birth of Spring.
And a different one on 19-string acoustic BJL lyre that I call Beginning to Bloom.
