Time for a haiku:
ORCHESTRAS
The crests east arc, retch.
Ah! The chaste shore hears the crash.
Hearts roar: “Reach the shore!”
EDIT 5/3/23 - missed a word!

When Vachel Lindsay's poems are hard to read aloud, that's to force a certain cadence on the reader, so that it's "singing poetry". I hope for a smidgeon of that effect, but this one's practically a tongue twister at the end. Five times fast, indeed!
-ORCHESTRAS-
"Chaos!" - coarse to hear, rose to the ear.
"Torch!" - the chore: to char each a store.
"Tears!" - to those the chaos reach.
"Roar!" - to the ear, to the chest, to cheat the heart's rest.
To the rear o' the torchers, the echo:
"Oh, chase the stars, cross the charts,
Cross the earth, search the hearts,
Rear a Hector to chase, to tear,
To teach the torchers the sore, the scare."
