Music to my ears; I frolicked through this wonderful piece. Brilliant!
Love how this makes you realise how many different types of music there really are! “Electric guitar funk music. Flute opera music”- it’s cool seeing these two side-by-side. Nice!
Cool work on the abecedarian Babs! 😎☺️👍
Loved the musical touch and mahalo for sharing
Beautiful, not sure ukelele is in a Reggae band. Drums, guitars, yes. But it is possible.
Such a lovely uplifting entry! And definitely music is so, so powerful! 🤍
I love this idea!! You did such a great job with this poem. I love this unique approach!! 💗💗💗
This was such a creative idea for the challenge! I could hear the notes behind each instrument, and the significance it plays with the specific genres of music. I'm always blown away with your abstract concepts for the prompts we're given <3
Lovely!!!! This is genius Babs! I can hear the music playing. 🎵
Well-wrought!
Nice Babs❤️
I agree that music does speak to the heart. What a joy to read! ❤️
Pop pop pop music, pop pop pop music.
Fabulously brilliant work!
so many types of music wow. It is a great form of expression, some ppl with autism can only communicate via it
Oh wow, I never knew there were musical instruments in all the letters! Such a beautiful compilation!
Ohhhhhh...I like this poem sooooo much. All my instruments are singin' and a dancin'.
Music to my eyes & ears! Nicely done, Babs (even if you didn't include the cello/violoncello which was my instrument, lol).
💕 Beautiful work Babs!!💕
