April Serenades of Poetry & Song!

April has arrived this year with sunshine & the delights of Easter holidays! It's also the start of National Poetry Month, a lovely celebration of poets, poetry and writing poems throughout April. I am happy to be participating by writing 30 poems in 30 days! Find out more about NaPoWriMo and find daily poetry prompts @ https://www.napowrimo.net/

For writerly motivation and support, I've also joined in CampNaNoWrimo for the month of April. Wish me luck! 🤞😉

And there's no shortage of inspiring songs to sing this April, as I'm currently completing musical projects with three different choirs, and am eagerly awaiting the release of spring and summer songs and concerts!

First up will be Allegri's Miserere & Acapella Wonders concerts with the Self Isolation Choir, which you can listen to from April 9th & 17th onwards at these links: 

Coming in May will be the release of the Stay at Home Choir's Sogno di Volare, and June will bring The Washington Chorus's Resilience concert, a special on-demand digital concert which we are just finishing up recordings for this week. I'll post more on TWC's Resilience concert in May!  

Wishing you a lovely April month of poetry, song and sunshine. Thank you for visiting my blog today, and may you be safe & well as springtime blossoms!

The White Lady of Kinsale

Image
The White Lady of Kinsale by Stacie Eirich  Silent and sorrowful, she haunts the soldiers of Charles Fort at their posts, floating above its ramparts, a bride in an ivory wedding dress, willowy and pale. Lithe and mournful, she strikes fear and sadness into their hearts, raven hair and ebony eyes, an eerie shadow spied on moonlit nights. Melancholy and doleful, she weeps in wretched quietude, above tumultuous Irish seas, peering over the rocky cliffs of Kinsale. Desolate and woeful, she dwells within its ruins for centuries - still, forever young, a frail specter eternally grieving her lost love. 💔 *This  poem was inspired by the word "Haunted" and is based on the famous 17th century legend of the White Lady of Kinsale, Ireland. She was a young bride who committed suicide on her wedding night after finding her husband dead (at the hand of her father), jumping off the ramparts of Charles Fort in County Cork. Her ghostly spirit, dr...

Thank you to those who followed my poetic journeys; you have read my heart within my poems.

One Glorious Chorus

Image
  DCINY Production/Dan Wright Photography/June 9, 2024 One Glorious Chorus  for my fellow SAHC singers & friends  We step out of a yellow cab into a swirl  of sounds, of lights, of colors, step into  a hotel elevator going up, up 39 floors,  our window view silver skyscrapers  in a sea of blue, a cacophony of traffic and noise    stretching on, interrupted by a breath of green  blooming across its center, a horse-drawn carriage,  summer jazz and food truck smells mingling in city air.  We step into a rehearsal room, relax and feel the comfort of a space of song, the way our voices weave as we sing,  the way this city welcomes and overwhelms us, the way  our many voices gel into one glorious sound, one glorious chorus in this city of wonder, this city of sounds and peoples and languages  and love, this city where dreams are made and lights seldom dim,  t his city where paces quicken,...
