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

The pronunciation guide uses the ARPABET phonetic system—the same system used in speech recognition and text-to-speech applications.

Vowel Examples:
AE1 = cat, bat
EH1 = bed, head
IY1 = see, me
OW1 = go, boat
UW1 = boot, do
Stress Numbers:
0 = no stress (unstressed)
1 = primary stress (loud)
2 = secondary stress (medium)
Example:
AH0 TH IY1 N AH0
= a-THEE-na (Athena)

The stressed syllable (marked with 1) is pronounced louder and clearer than others.

Quick Definition

A pair of rhyming words or lines that mirror or echo each other closely

Detailed Definition
Twin rhyme is a close pairing of rhyming words—such as “light/bright” or “sea/free”—that appear adjacent or in tight proximity to create emphasis, musicality, or cohesion; common in refrains, nursery rhymes, and lyrical verse, it offers immediate sonic satisfaction but risks predictability if overused without variation or slant.
Example
Example in poetry:
"Light" and "bright" rhyming as twins in adjacent lines; "Sea" and "free" echoing each other closely; "Stone" and "bone" as twin rhymes in a lament; "Fire" and "desire" paired repeatedly; "Heart" and "part" functioning as inseparable rhyming twins
Additional Notes
Twin rhyme pairs closely related rhyming words (e.g., "light/bright") for emphasis or musicality; common in refrains and nursery rhymes; students should distinguish from slant rhyme by exactness; creates cohesion but risks monotony if overused; linked to "ten-beat rhyme-pair."
