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
