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

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.

- I can almost hear this ... There are many types of feelings, it is possible to express it through music and poems - This is a wonderful example Chris, the feelings of passion and sadness from the first tone - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

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.

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?

Hmmm, now why didn't I think of that? :) Thanks so very much Maria for your kindness.

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.
