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.

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. The poems were already here before I arrived and began to experiment with them. They will still be here when these musical experiments, and indeed myself, have been swept away, like the sand of a mandala. Nothing has been lost.

I want a simpler end to my life, days of simple love and enjoyment with my wonderful wife of 20 years. The work of maintaining a server, the monitoring, and the residual obligations that come with keeping a site alive no longer fit that life.

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

The experimental music I am making now is on my Suno profile. Those pieces stay there, and are not added to this 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.

The Mandala Is Finished explains this more fully.

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

The pleasure was in the making.

Richard

Quick Definition

Poetic structure organized around chronological progression, seasonal cycles, historical periods, or other temporal frameworks.

Detailed Definition
Temporal organization refers to the structuring of a poem according to time-based principles—such as narrative sequence, diurnal cycle, or generational span—rather than spatial, thematic, or formal patterns; this approach treats time as the primary axis of meaning, as in elegies that move from grief to acceptance or epic poems that unfold across historical epochs, shaping reader experience through duration and progression.
Example
Example in poetry:
Temporal organization arranges poem by time sequence: A day from dawn to dusk; A life from birth to death; Seasons cycling in stanzas; Historical events in chronological stanzas.
Additional Notes
temporal organization|The way a poem structures and presents events across time, which can be linear, circular, fragmented, or focused on a single moment; part of the structural design.
