Period 2
Ode

Ode to Music
You dance around the air
Setting the mood for any event
Winter? You deliver a jingly rhythm
Summer? You ring out your smooth Latin rhythm
The unfortunate dont appreciate you
But I do
The world would be bland and lifeless without you
Your popping staccatos are bombs
Your flowing tenutos are like a luscious, long spring breeze
You look like you are nothing but a complex jumble of
symbols aiming to intrigue musicians, but you sound
simple
Melodic
You smell
Like valve oil and slide grease
Hard and cold at first
Then you become warm and comfortable
Natural
I picture your sharps and flats as spices
Spices to bring zest
To any food
You are like a rollercoaster
Fast, slow

High, low
Always changing
You are the weather

Unpredictable
Loud
Crashing
Storming
Or maybe
Breezy
Quiet
Calm
Delicate

Breathtaking
