RAINFOREST PHANTOMS MUSIC STUDY

:

http://ir.canterbury.ac.nz/bitstream/handle/10092/5995/thesis_fulltext.pdf

Reasons to include this information...

This is a rare UK Google search result
that leads to a PDF file, such as those
which contain some reference to the
Stephen Gayford wildlife poetry...

[PDF] is the text that appears at the
start of the search result and the PDF
file may be linked to directly... or we
choose Google's CACHED version...

Here's another example found online,
this time dealing with a music thesis,
with the poem Rainforest Phantoms
mentioned and music created with
extensive music details from page 117.

The poemhunter-dot-com website has its
own ways to add a music piece to a chosen
poet's poem and then add to the website's
username collection on video websites.
These videos include the poetry text and
a nice background image display, too.
The Google search finds these and offers
these to anyone interested in these videos.
Whether they actually match the text is
another matter. It sometimes seems pot luck.

In any case, it seems amazing that the
painting by Stephen Gayford helped me to
write the poem and it was used to help
somebody else along their life's journey.
To think, the poem could have been recited
then followed by those playing the music.

RAINFOREST PHANTOMS


The leopards listen to each noise
Of their surrounding sounds...
On steadfast feet they gently poise,
Resisting fearful bounds.
Perhaps it isn't time to run,
Like cowards fearing pain,
Or just like girls who love the sun,
Yet flee from falling rain...
The leopards like the spot they've seen,
It suits them to a tee...
They'll stay till others intervene,
Like phantoms on their tree...
The forest has its moody times,
Its fierce and frantic days,
Its pleasant passing sunny climes
And melting dew-dropped phase...
The sun shines through the trees above,
The clouds go gliding by...
And soon the moon will shine with love,
To grace the midnight sky...
The leopards lack for nothing now,
True friends in harmony...
Receiving what the Fates allow,
Like phantoms, fancy free...

A poem based on a magnificent wildlife painting,
by artist Stephen Gayford. Google-search
gayfordgallery and 'Stephen Gayford poetry'.

Consider the UK Sky Digital Rainforest Rescue
charity appeal found on the UK sky-dot-com as
this explains how losing the rainforests destroys
the lives of those humans, animals and plants
in the name of progress for some, but not for all.

The partnership with WWF ended in September 2015...

Resisting fearful bounds.
Perhaps it isn't time to run,

Or just like girls who love the sun,

Its fierce and frantic days,
Its pleasant passing sunny climes
And melting dew-dropped phase...
The sun shines through the trees above,
The clouds go gliding by...
And soon the moon will shine with love,
To grace the midnight sky...
The leopards lack for nothing now,
Two friends in harmony...
Receiving what the Fates allow,
Like phantoms, fancy free...
