I ALMOST LIKED THE OPERETTAS


I ALMOST LIKED THE OPERETTAS 


For Lucy W. Young          

I almost liked  the operettas

Because of going with my Grandmother

Who took her pearl opera glasses

She wore bluegrass perfume

dressed in elegant knock off Chanel.

Later l loved only Puccini

The art song in cameo

The sounds of aeolian bells

What is music I asked the clouds

They drifted to show me

The drift of sound

The harmony of leaving

The beautiful evening reprised.
