Dear Guests, Welcome to my blog which I treat like a creative garden where I regularly plant and change this and that be it poetry, philosophy, an Oboe Brilliance lesson, an essay of some kind, or a journal about composing. Visit every Monday for oboe coaching which is also helpful for many melodic instrumentalists. Musically yours, Kathryn

"How do you compose?" That is the most commonly asked question I hear.
This blog is a window into my creative process and philosophies as a composer and instrumentalist. At times it may contain music, photos, and poetry as well. May you enjoy, return, and benefit!

In Memory (see Nov 14th for revision)
bark holds water black nesting shadow’s bold birds flee South Autumn scolds How shall I reveal syrup’s hidden taste sun beet kisses fate while hoar frost withers gold? © Kathryn Potter 2009 In my last poem, I deliberately avoided adjectives as a disciplinary exercise. Now I threw some in and became compulsive with editing. It begged for rhythm and rhyme. Other versisions while I was revising this one were more punctuated in rhythm like: bark holds water back black nesting shadow's moss bold .... but the sound of it took away from the intuitive feel I was after, so I cut it down and changed the meter. Musically and poetically yours, Kathryn |
