Piano of Joy

Standard
Baby drinks tea 
Baby plays piano
Piano sonatas in the night
Piano accompanies cocktails
Cocktails at five
Cocktails for two
Two-handed player
Two-timing man
Man in the moon
Man of my dreams
Dreams of better days
Dreams that invade our sleep
Sleep interrupted
Sleep like death
Death the final frontier
Death warmed-over
Over the hill
Over the rainbow
Rainbow-hued candy clouds
Rainbow after the storm
Storm out of the house
Storm clouds gather
Gather together
Gather ye rosebuds
Rosebuds' thorny stems
Rosebuds' summer bloom
Bloom where you are planted
Bloom or bust
Bust out of prison
Bust a rhyme
Rhyme is dead
Rhyme or reason
Reason your way out of this
Reason why
Why or why not
Why the sky is blue
Blue eyes tearing up
Blue birds of good luck
Luck would have it
Luck be a lady
Lady and the tramp
Lady of the lake
Lake side picnic
Lake of unshed tears
Tears course down smooth cheeks
Tears of unspoken joy
Joy of brightest morning
Joy breaks out in song
Song of pure artistry
Morning of precocious youth.



I spent way too much time trying to figure out the Miz Quickly prompt today, a 50 line "blitz" poem with a specific form. I used a phrase from the NaPoWriMo prompt as the first line of this draft.
