Barry Stebbings Poet Rhyme

Music To My Soul

Music To My Soul


      When I play my guitar,

      A happy tune in a major key,

      My guitar sings with me;

      When I play in a major key.


      But when I play in a minor key

      And touch the strings tenderly

      My guitar weeps with me,

     When I play in a minor key.

Andrea Dietrich February 5, 2017 at 6:55 PM That is very sweet and short. Do you need any refrain for this contest? I really like it and I wish I could remember to play again. Barry Stebbings February 6, 2017 at 8:56 AM Thank you, Andrea. Laura asked for two four line stanzas with no chorus or refrain for the contest. I might come back to it later and make it into a longer piece.
