Stan the Saxophonist

Scientists have proven music helps plants grow better; after all, plants are living creatures too.

He has been practising his saxophone in front of these plants for well over 40 years so he should know – the trees are growing very well. His fellow musicians have been laughing at his saxophone playing. But his perseverance is paying off; they will laugh no longer.

The trees growl angrily as he continues his tune. Soon, they will storm into the towns and they will pay for the deadly insults all those years back.

He is Stan the Saxophonist.

And they will pay.

(100 words)


Inspired by The Legend of Pied Piper, I was very eager to write this story. But once again, this story is late because of time constraint and, of course if you know me by now, word limit.

If only I could play a magical instrument to rouse the plants to a war march.

Vindictive nature much? LOL.

music in nature
singing beauties in the wild
natural music


Hmm, how many times do I listen carefully to the music around me? As in, really listen carefully? I only noticed it when I am forced to still my mind, the sounds of birds, bugs rustling leaves and squirrels. And many others which I have yet to identify…

I Write Her Weekly Haiku/Senryu Challenge #19 – 2nd Attempt

Untcvcccitled

Music

rhythmic melody
releases my tired soul through
sonorous rhythm


rhythmic melody
releases my tired soul through
melodious rhythm

This is the original haiku I wrote. If I have to confess, I prefer the original one rather than the one in second attempt because of the mirror parallel – I’m a big sucker for it. But at least, after a couple of friends pointed out that the last line contains 6 syllables rather than 5, I’m glad to announce “rhythm” is generally accepted as 2-syllable word 😀

Back story: my mind is in the gutter these days and I’m too tired to even figure out the number of syllables in a word. And this is also when howmanysyllables.com failed me because it listed “rhythm” as 1-syllable word…

Music is my life.

That was my original line for this haiku but it somehow lacks that poetic sense to my ears. But music has been a big part of my life, whether I am playing the piano, singing songs or listening to music on my iPod. And most importantly, I store my memories in music as well, as each piece contains a certain memory, a small piece of my life.

This one takes quite some time because I was deciding how many syllables there are in “rhythmic” and “rhythm”. In the end, it occurs to me, there are so many syllable counting websites out there I could have just log in to one of the sites. They all agree on the number of syllables and I heave a sigh of relief.
