Musical Interlude

Music plays Body sways Feel the beat Tap those feet Pleasant mood Interlude Back to work Mustn't shirk Garden first Flowers thirst Tackle weeds Scatter seeds Feed the fish Bodies swish Mow the lawn With a yawn Roses pruned Nose perfumed Time to pause Go indoors Cup of tea Gladdens me Hear the news Get the blues Switch to song Sing along Spirits raised God be praised! 16.09.20 Threes, Please Poetry Contest -sponsored by Beth Evans

That’s very kind, Mahtab. Much easier for me to rhyme than tackle free verse!

A story that all of us relate to in three syllable lines! Well told, Wendy. As a musician I especially love your musical references and the ways we all get distracted. Sending you peace and prayers!
