July Musical Prompt

Posted by ⋅ ⋅ 7 Comments
Filed Under  , ,
For this fifth Monday in July, let’s write a poem to a little music. Listen to this four and half minute piano piece. Don’t look it up or research the composer and try not to even be influenced by the title, just enjoy the music and write a poem then post your accompaniment in the comments below.

    Walk with me
    through the night

    Walk with me
    let’s make it right

    Walk with me
    talk about our sight
    ~
    Walk with me
    through the day
    ~
    Walk with me
    even if there’s nothing to say
    ~
    Walk with me
    through the tears
    ~
    Walk with me
    through the fears
    ~
    WALK WITH ME!

    WALK WITH ME!

    WITH!

    ME!
    ~
    Through the night
    ~
    Through the fright
    ~
    Out of sight
    ~
    With all your might
    ~
    Hold my hand
    ~
    Walk with me
    through the night
    ~
    Walk with me
    out of sight
    ~
    Walk with me
