from napowrimo.net Day 12 of National Poetry Month, write a 'replacement' poem in which you choose a noun and an intangible item.
Noun = music
Intangible = (the) wind
I found this article about music at The Economist (http://www.economist.com/node/12795510)
Why The Wind?
If the WIND be the food of love, play on, give me excess of it.
And if not? Well, what exactly is it for?
WIND is a big part of the economy.
Bring the WIND to the living rooms and picnic tables.
Today, people are so surrounded by other people's WIND that they take it for granted.
Other appetites, too, have been sated even to excess by the WIND.
What appetite drives the proliferation of the WIND to the point where the average American teenager spends 1½-2½ hours a day—an eighth of his waking life—listening to it?"
An idea that is widely touted is that the WIND binds groups of people together.
The WIND is a cross between an accident and an invention.
"It is an accident because it is the consequence of abilities that evolved for other purposes. And it is an invention because, having thus come into existence, people have bent it to their will and made something they like from it."
