Music
A sonnet by Arden Calhoun
(Senior; Madison, WI. Originally from Saranac Lake)
The music in the air now is so sweet
As sweet as flowers blooming in a wood
To hear a sound like this is such a treat
Because the feel of it is just so good
As melodies play on into the world
The harmonies and rhythms find their tunes
As dancers always have leaped up and twirled
And song has swept across the lake from loons
Music sweeps its way around the globe
Into the hearts and souls of those who hear
Be it bow o'er strings or horn that's blown
The sound in people's ears is much healed dear
No matter how or where it's played or heard
The music on this earth is always learned

Thank you to our winter contributors for answering our last-minute call, graciously sharing your work, and
allowing our Creative Corner dreams to come true! Our spring issue's call for the Creative Corner will be
