Bar ba ra Po me rance

Poem Number Two

(Inspired by the melodic six syllable sound of my friend’s first and second names when pronounced together.)

Barbara Pomerance

Say Bar ba ra to me

A melody appears

A song so dear

Three notes I hear

Then Po me rance 

For a lively dance

With rising tones

That are never alone.

A symphony

A revelry

In six parts

And more hearts.

A song supreme

Her life a dream

A cherished melody

For others and me.

-Joe Goldblatt
