illuminating
child voices float through the hall
purer than sunlight
my daughter’s alto
a honey-dark thread woven
through the sopranos
the risers placed where
Stravinsky and Bernstein stood
crafting symphonies

Susan Daniels Poetry 
Wonderful haikus Susan, I can almost hear your daughter’s voice š
Thanks, Polly–she has the voice of an angel, and this year, the all-county chorus performed at a rather famous symphony hall. They picked two to three students from each school to perform, and they did such a beautiful job. Proud of all of them.
A honey dark thread. Love what you do with colors and textures, Susan.
George, thank you. That is exactly what her voice sounds like to me–a sweet, dark thread I can follow through any music she sings.
Susan ..it must be melody for you always..may the angelic voice of your daughter continue to spell magic… great haiku..
I am here: http://rameshsood.blogspot.in/2012/09/ah-notes-from-childhood.html
Thank you Ramesh–her aunt is a jazz singer, and I think she inherited some wonderful vocal cords.
Lovely symphonies you have carved here š
Oh! Thank you. It was such a joy to listen to the inspiration…
Lovely haiku set … always music and symphonies around you … looks great to me.
Oh, thanks so much, Hank!
The middle one is especially good, I think it captures a moment and I can feel it. This one stands alone.
Thank you, Matthew!
I just love the middle line of the second one!! And I can hear the honey dark thread!
oh, Barbara–thank you!
Did you know that your haiku jumped out of the page? š The ‘crafting symphonies’ had some magic.
Oh, Vaishali, thank you!
How gorgeous..just gorgeous..
Mimi, thank you!
Magical – such a loving dedication to your daughter and the other children’s voices as well. Very special.
Oh, thank you, Elle!
you hit a homerun with these Susan. Inspiration of a sweet voice.. symphony indeed my friend
Oh, thank you! My girl has always had a powerful set of lungs–ask anyone who has heard her yell–but she has a voice they back up beautifully š
Oh, this is wonderful, Susan. You must be so proud of your daughter. Your haiku reflects that pride perfectly.
Oh, thanks so much, Patti š
She is very creative!
Both mother and daughter are obviously musically inclined and most creative! Nicely Susan!

It must be wonderful to have a child who sings, listening to her all the time. And her honey-dark voice, must be magical. You’ve captured that pride and joy so well.
Jolly, thank you. I am blessed.
Ah.. may that purity be there forever in that child’s voice š
Thank you, Leo. We shall see. I’ll listen to her no matter what š
I can only imagine the sheer joy of hearing her. Just hearing my daughter’s voices makes me smile.
That’s it, exactly–joy.
Such music!
