“The spicier the food, the spicier the Love.” Anthony T. Hinks
Nutmeg The day of metaphors arrived like a vine claiming a trellis, unconsciously filling the lines of his normally vapid mind with a stirring to picking pumpkins, the slicing thereof to a soup, tasting the bland therein, spiced memories erupting a remedy, dashes and pinches colliding with a thought that simmered, that his day was quite the same, and when he called she said yes, Nutmeg was always ready to spice. ©Paul Vincent Cannon

Dear Paul Vincent Cannon and AureliaAlbAtros,
Thank you, Paul, for offering your lovely and excellent poem for us to enjoy. I really like the flow of your poem and its metaphors.
Whilst AureliaAlbAtros has offered you coffee, I would like to offer you my own musical composition, which also comes with a poem.
As we maintain spatial distancing and stay home to avoid contracting and spreading the coronavirus, please kindly allow me the pleasure to entertain you and your family with a bespoke poem and music recently published in the multimedia post entitled 🎼🎹—THE—🎹—LAST—🎹—RAG—🎹🎵🎶, where the featured composition can be enjoyed and studied in multiple formats available to you as the audio playbacks, the video captures of score with music, and the gallery of score sheets.
The post is available for you to enjoy at https://soundeagle.wordpress.com/2020/04/12/the-last-rag/
Please be informed that you might need to use a desktop or laptop computer with a large screen to view the rich multimedia contents available for heightening your multisensory enjoyment at my blog, which could be too powerful and feature-rich for iPad, iPhone, tablet or other portable devices to handle properly or adequately.
Since music can be an essential part of the process of sustainability, wellbeing, healing and even social change and spiritual awakening, may my music and poem in the said post bring you some creative “distractions” or “diversions” amidst the disruptions and woes engendered by the pandemic.
I look forward to receiving your feedback at the post there. Happy reading and listening!
Happy July to both of you!
Yours sincerely,
ჱܓSoundEagle🦅

Fun poem. I think my thoughts are more of a stew than a soup – much less fluid.

Me too, but a pumpkin soup that I like is one you almost need a fork to eat it with lol. I do prefer more body in my food -literally. 🙂

It’s fascinating how an aroma can illicit strong sensations stir our hearts and minds…just like a sound, touch, or picture. 😊

I enjoyed the metaphor, although I dislike nutmeg. (Associated with eating too many Christmas cookies as a child and the inevitable result.) But I like the poem! 🙂
