Harmonious Family Dynamic - Fourth Movement
Narcissistic, older brother Timpani
voted most likely to turn all heads
when they bursts into any room
harbinger of excitement or the end
whereas, unruly little brother Cymbals
races crashing through the house
quickly after entering
they’re shuffled off to bed
Great aunts and uncles Triangle, Bass Drum,
Gong, and Glockenspiel
less visible members of the family
whose voices are often used for punctuation
Spanish godmother Castanets
conveys an Iberian atmosphere
adding Flamenco beats
to a rhythmic united nations

Dear GW,
I’ve been enjoying this series of poems relating instruments to family members. Extremely clever concept which you’ve beautifully turned into a storyline full of colorful musical characters! Bravo! H🌷
