...I suggest that you revise them like this:

If one has a heart
One has music

if one has a heart
it follows
that one has rhythm
if one has rhythm
it follows
that one has music
if one has music
it follows
that the heart is an instrument.
The ocarina is an instrument
it follows
that the heart is an ocarina.

If the heart is an ocarina
It follows
That the heart sings.

Cheers from Willy

This is a nice experiment and a lesson of Logic. Interesting though!

Best wishes,

Thank you both for your nice words on this experiment!

Initially the nouns were not articulated in the poem because I wanted to convey the rigidity of a syllogism. However, at John’s suggestion (which was most welcome) I modified the text. I believe that this second version works with rather than against the rhythm of the poem and makes it less sterile in spite of its logical associations.

Best wishes to you too

Mihaela
