Closes

A note from Richard

V2Melody will close at midnight on 20 January 2028

This site has been a retirement project in musical poetry: poems chosen with care and set to music, offered freely for as long as it felt right to keep the garden open.

After the death of my mother, the work no longer holds the place it once did in my life. I have gone as far with it as I wish to go. Like a sand mandala, it was made to be completed and then released. I am not attached to its permanence, and I do not believe any of it needs to last beyond the time it was given.

My wife and I are simplifying our days. The server, the monitoring, and the residual obligations that come with keeping a site alive no longer fit the quieter life we want.

From 4 November 2026 I will not be adding new poems or musical poems to the site.

Until midnight on 20 January 2028, Spanish time, everything remains available exactly as it is. That is when my VPS server contract comes to an end, and it will not be renewed. After that, the server will be switched off and the site will disappear.

Thank you to anyone who found a poem, a track, or a quiet moment here.

The pleasure was in the making.

Richard

Quick Definition

A heraldic shield divided into multiple triangular segments (gyrons) radiating from the center.

Detailed Definition
Gyronny creates a segmented field, suggesting unity through diversity or conflict within harmony. Poetic use can emphasize complexity or multifaceted identities.
Example
Example in poetry:
Gyronny of eight, the shield spun like a compass of fate; “Gyronny soul,” the confessional poem described life pulled in many directions; The poet saw the wind rose as gyronny, guiding his verses; Gyronny azure and or marked the family’s maritime and mercantile heritage.
Additional Notes
Gyronny describes a field divided into triangular segments radiating from the fess point, usually in even numbers (e.g., gyronny of eight); it symbolizes unity from diverse parts; in verse, gyronny patterns can represent cosmic order, compass directions, or blended lineages; each gyron alternates tinctures per the rule of tincture.
