MUSIC AND MIND

 MUSIC AND MIND

 Music experience, exposure, training

 Changes the way   minds   function

Sounds  carry  emotions

Birds, whales use for communication

Heart chord it triggers

Stimulates body and   mind

Annoying music, ear worms

Overwrite it with pleasing notes.

Our brain   structure   striatum

Releases dopamine, pleasure   related   stimuli

Emotional bonding,  music   helps

Shared moments, shared experience in groups

Music, mind   knows   it

Integrates body, spirit, mind

Happiness with faster tempos, heart   beats   fast

Sorrow   with   slow pace breathing changes lot.

Song that links events in life

Lasts forever in mind

Music alters moods in a nice way

Play music you love and start the day.

Homework becomes unbearable

With favorite music on, it becomes desirable

Improves attention, academic mind

Analyze, synthesize, evaluate, problem find.

Music and   mathematics, quite involving

Ratios, sequences, proportions, reasoning

Creates good moods, increased attention

Magical   music, mind    in    appreciation.

Music creates moods

Problem solving capacity it boosts

With music we dance in our heads

No movement of   our    bodies.

Music memory and emotion

Songs that link life, long lasting in humans

Nostalgic songs stimulate

Even Alzheimer minds, it activates.

Happiness, anger, fear, sadness, peacefulness

Music with its dynamics creates feeling in us

Heart chord it triggers, stimulating body and mind

Synchronizing in groups you find.

Alleviates pain, reduce   medications

Blood pressure, heart rate, anxiety,   it   lowers

Therapeutic, overcomes depression

Listen vocal or instrumental,  personal selection.

WINTER

WINTER

Winter in German, time for water

Times of rain and snow of winter

It’s cold and icy there

White and splendid every where

No bud of spring, no laugh of summer

No dream of love, no song of bird to hear

Season of dormancy for crops

Plants die, seeds wait for spring

Many animals dormant, hibernate

 Or With enough food in storage

Pines covered with ice

Juniper shagged with ice

Trees in nakedness waiting

For music of leaves in spring

Women in jackets, coats, sweaters and pull overs

Clothes embellish personality markers

Stay warm while keeping chic

Aside cold, snow, sleet and adverse effects

Dehydration in summer, fever in rainy season

Winter is free of all these, a good season

Winter sports are fun for all

Played on snow or ice natural or artificial

Skiing, skating, ice hockey, curling, Bandy

Sledding to the bottom of giant hill slowly

Safety rules beware and careful

In summer cherries, in spring straw berries

In winter treat yourself with orange variety

Tangerines small, sweet and easy to peel

Inside like baby’s toes, perfect and clean, appeal 

Blood oranges with their deep red flush

Caracaras with their interiors juicy and pink

Clementine   with honey like sweet flavor

Kishus   oranges   sweet and candy nature

Navel oranges sweet and juicy

Mandarins small and sweet

Nature treats us with variety of citrus fruits

With a myriad of health virtues

Winter with frosty trees, over cast skies

Low temperatures and snow fall

Nature repeats its form in fascinating ways

Man gives character and meaning to its ways
