Sitting on the Piano top is the metronome
Guiding you unable to stop music in your home
Tick! Tock! Tick !Tock! you must never cease
Making music as the notes bring you release
So in syncopating trance you are hypnotized
Tick! Tock ! your music is highly prized.
Music is a guiding light and it leads you
Up on to a new height, timing good and true
Bish bash! Bish bash hit those keys keeping music coming
you always have a crowd to please, high low keep them humming
Great rhythm belting out hear that appreciative shout so
Bish bash! Hit those keys watch the metronome and follow.

Thank you, it is a new type of poem for me to try it is called a Staccato poem , Staccato as in the music term , stop start repeat…I think!!

You really nailed this form! And you took it a step further and made it about music. And — very noteworthy (no pun) is that you did this in record speed. I don’t know how many minutes elapsed between you visited dverse and you did this poem, but I don’t think you knew about this challenge until you visited the zumpoems site — so I am going to guess you did this in under an hour. If so that is very impressive for tackling a new form and adhering to the rules! I think you have so much unleashed potential as a poet. Just keep on doing what you are doing, reading poetry and writing poetry and you will keep getting better and better!

You penned wonderfully to form with smooth rhyme, both internal and end rhyme. Your repeats are onomatopoeic which adds an additional layer to the message. Great use of poetic device. Thank you very much for sharing this wonderful offering.
