Chris Green Poet Rhyme

Heart String Sorrows

Heart String Sorrows

Sadness pulls my heart strings
with a bow of rosin’d guilt,
tear drops stain the notes upon the page

Sorrowed cello whispers
of a soundless worry wilt,
harmonies distort beyond the stage

Out of tune concertos
midst excessive cymbals blare,
steady as the beat of gathered pain

Broken mirror rhythms
sit within the favored chair,
misery in musical refrain

Violin’d distractions
cried in melodies so thin,
echo in performed apologies

A cappella opus,
 as a prelude to the hymn,
played by melancholy symphonies

Good night Soupers

Lisa Ricci July 25, 2017 at 4:49 AM Good Morning Chris. Such quiet and melancholy expressions that radiate to the reader. Entries of reflections always make for beautiful poetry as this entry before us does. With hope the out of tune concertos will be working in harmony once again. Well done entirely. Have a great morning. Chris Green July 28, 2017 at 3:03 PM Thank you Lisa

Harry Horsman July 19, 2017 at 5:10 PM Such profoundness Chris, love the hint of the classical age, with in the poem. Chris Green July 21, 2017 at 5:17 PM Thanks Harry for your kind thoughts

Freddie Robinson Jr. July 19, 2017 at 4:10 PM Wow! Such a creative poem, Chris. Out of all your wonderful poems I've read, right now this is my personal favorite. Let me just say: it struck a chord. Anywho ... a poem that can insert a line like ... a bow of rosin'd guilt ... is a winner in my book. Great, great creative write. Loved the musical theme very much so. Love and peace, bruh. Chris Green July 21, 2017 at 5:17 PM Thanks so much Freddie.

Kim Rodrigues July 19, 2017 at 7:56 AM A sad and beautiful opus, my friend! You've played our heatstrings once again! Chris Green July 19, 2017 at 12:56 PM Thank you so very much Kim.

Silent One July 19, 2017 at 6:28 AM Chris I agree With Maria lol... Even though I have no clue what she is saying.. Another deep write my friend, hope you can get out of those melancholy symphonies... Chris Green July 19, 2017 at 12:56 PM That makes two of us. :) Thanks so very much for your nice comment

Maria Williams July 19, 2017 at 1:23 AM Perhaps the tuning before the orchestra started playing was out of sync in the first place? Perhaps it should have been taken from 440 to 442?? or the Oboe didn't quite get his 'A' perfect? The symphony then might flow so much more smoothly. lol, just saying!! Love you poetry as always. PS In regards to S1 coment,the standard pitch is 440 Hertz-Vibrations per second. Taking it to 442 will result in a more harmonious tone, should we say? Chris Green July 19, 2017 at 12:56 PM Hmmm, now why didn't I think of that? :) Thanks so very much Maria for your kindness.

Darren White July 19, 2017 at 12:41 AM All that music, all playing out of tune, it supports the feelings of sadness in your poem, but it's so well written Chris! Good night, see you tomorrow. Chris Green July 19, 2017 at 12:55 PM Thanks so very much my friend. I am thrilled you enjoyed this one.
