Before I lost my confidence in writing in college, I wrote a poem as apart of my poetry class’s final exam. The professor just wrote “wow” on the top of the poem and even called my house to tell my parents that he was impressed with my work. I finally found the poem in an old notebook in a box in the basement.
The Taste of Music
Music taste so sweet
Though the music, that has not been imagined,
Must taste so much sweeter.
Every note hits my ears
The sweet melody floods my soul
The rhythm beats within me
Each note, each sweet note
Flies through the air so softly
Landing upon my lips
Never had I tasted
Such sweet music before
Feelings become indescribable
Slowly the notes disappear
And I am all alone
Left with the melody in my head
I had trapped the sounds
With a butterfly net
Capturing the melody forever
