A Sad Violin

The strings shriek out sad, it could not be glad. Just one more note it had, nothing more to add.
Now over the strings of glory, the violin had played its last story.
Everything must come to an end, even with my very best friend. The strings will no longer bend, no more music will we attend.

This is so beautiful and very creative my dearest poet friend Paula! I love this a lot although strings of sadness gripped my heart as the violin played its last story. I especially love how you associate it also with friendship. I extremely love this and the ending. So brilliant dearest poet friend. A top win for me and I love this more than mine. Congratulations not only on your win but for this stellar poem! A fave, too. Thanks a lot for sharing. God bless you always and your writings. Hugs

Hi Paula, This is an interesting contest theme you poets are competing on. Yours is truly fatalistically sad, can't imagine "no more music". Best wishes in your contest dear Paula..

Nothing stays the change, change inevitable -- and parting is a sad reality we all must suffer, those of friends and self. Better place going to does not make the transition more palatable. The thing that makes us flawly human, is the very thing that deeply annoys us with Faith.
