Lune - Ivory

a missing note
the broken heart of ivory
silent in neglect

no soft touch
will sound the final tone
of longing's love

John, this sends such auditory pictures - like the lost chord that cannot sound without this piano key - love missing a letter in r_mance! Really wonderful! Best of luck in Nette's contest. I think I need to go ponder your words several times! Stay well and safe!

This is gorgeous John. I didn't realize this contest had image prompts, I'm curious to go see, but also want this poem to just sit with me the way it is. xomo
