Broken

Broken keys on a piano - harmonic notes no longer heard, where once sweet love songs deigned to flow. Broken keys on a piano - love not nurtured will cease to grow, apathy kills without a word. Broken keys on a piano, harmonic notes no longer heard. 5/26/15

Very eloquent triolet on love lost and silenced keys on a piano. Lovely but sad write.

This poem is sad but so touching. I am reminded of our baby grand piano that had been standing on its side in a school auditorium and was offered to anyone who would come hall it off. It had the markings of cigarette burns and keys out of tune, but it is refurbished now and is well loved once again in our home. A memorable Triolet Kay!

I like it. My aunt was a great piano player. She kept hers in tip top shape! A7...
