Like yesterdays poet, Marjorie Lacy, this poem is all written around the them of noise.

Jaki Spence March 2017

A cacophony of sound

The sweetest sound is of a new-born babies cry, a gift to a mother

The most soothing is that of the gentle flowing of water over stones

The most grating sound is chalk on a blackboard

Daily sounds of cars revving, motorbikes roaring away

Followed by children shouting and laughing as they play

The rustling of leaves in trees caught by a summer breeze

The call of the cuckoo in Spring heralding its arrival

The cry of the wolf as it fights for survival

My favourite sounds belong to music

It has passion that gives flight to many feelings

It has the ability to make us laugh, and yes cry

It is full of feeling plays on our emotions

It can breathe life into the loneliest of days

Thank you Jaki.....lovely piece, as a music lover as well, I agree wholeheartedly.
