A Puccini Opera

A damp and dank November morn A mist hangs over the sea Another bad night of tossing and turning Feeling emotional and lonely you see Then right on cue as if to say Sit back Relax Let your tension float away Heartfelt notes encompass me His song gently stroking my soul A Puccini opera Emotions run high Just like in Madam Butterfly I am in a trance My soul wants to dance As my heart he carries along With the melodic notes of his song The finale reached a crescendo Oh no ~ please stay ~ please sing on But then at the end the softest of sounds As he turned he flew right down to the ground My blackbird serenade My day he has made My tears he has dried As this new day arrives 11th November 2020 Contest Name Podium placing promise(6) Sponsor Brian Strand FIRST PLACE

I cannot fully appreciate opera, but I see that you do so I applaud this poem for that truth.

Music has a way of helping our emotions... Opera is good at that as is musicals . Nice to see you have a coping mechanism my friend. I feel your emotions are not helped with the season. Please have a look into seasonal affective disorder. Take care
