Aditi Mishra Poet Verse

Lune - Rhythms

rusty old keys
play through yellow melancholic reflections
                       as dusk arrives

             forgotten nostalgic rhythms
       open floodgates of hopeful notes
                     on dejected nights

Sam Kauffman May 14, 2020 at 2:33 PM Congratulations Aditi on your winning placement. So much hope flooding through your poem - even though the keys are rusty they still play; "nostalgic rhythms open floodgates," a beautiful blending of the pensive and the positive in your musical imagery. Aditi Mishra May 14, 2020 at 2:36 PM I am so thankful for your understanding and interpretation of my efforts. Yes, I had started on a melancholic note then thought of adding hope to it. :) God bless you Sam

Paul Callus May 13, 2020 at 12:58 PM Rusty~melancholic~dusk~dejected...a choice of words which reflect the visual you write about, Aditi. Both nostalgia and hopeful longing seems to want to give life to memories. ~ Congratulations on making Nette's final winners' list.

John Watt May 13, 2020 at 12:53 PM Aditi, you sound like one who knows what it's like to pour out your melancholy into the keys of an instrument. Really nice capture of the melancholy feelings using metaphors of dusk and the old piano, but ending with hope. Congratulations on being selected as a winner, my friend. John Watt May 13, 2020 at 2:17 PM Ah yes, like the Psalms. Aditi Mishra May 13, 2020 at 12:59 PM Thank you dear friend. Somehow you always get to find the background stories in poetry :) I used to play long back but not anymore. I admit that most of my words flow with a hopeful note in the end no matter how they start.

Mohan Chutani May 9, 2020 at 7:08 PM Aditi, hope always wins. Nice flow. Best. Aditi Mishra May 10, 2020 at 8:10 AM Thank you for the appreciation Mohan :)
