Poets Unite Worldwide
invite you to take part in the AnthologyGEOGRAPHY & MUSIC of POETRY
that is:
a chosen (by the poet) PLACE ---a geographical area/feature--- ,
plus an associated MUSIC (or song)
It is about writing a poem about a place, a view, a geographical characteristic (such as a river, a mountain or a valley, ...), or a village/city, or even a whole region, but associating it with the reference to a music (ancient or modern), a song, a traditional musical composition of that country (a vocal or instrumental composition)...I mean, for instance: writing a poem about Edinburgh's castle (in Scotland), where the music of drums and bagpipes resounds [for an example, you can watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eSL6Nv2ZdQ -- or this one, taken at a Scottish highlands gather: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLxdcfnU5C0]Other examples:- USA: river Missouri and song 'Shenandoah' [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1EG_4IBzbA]- USA: 'New York, New York' (song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_Yf9FoITe8)- Spain and Boccherini's "La Musica Notturna delle Strade di Madrid" [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dmWAve3Pvk]
