Musical Journey Indeed

Holly confident about singing
               bragged a bit about easy winning
               until joined acclaimed contest
               she performed her real best
               sadly, trophy left her hope crushing!

               her friends were completely heart-broken
               they believed in every word spoken
               Holly found a new pastime
               playing harp was worth her time!
               Holly maintained her options open!

               Playing delicate harp no less fun
               she was highly cheered by everyone
               for contest she was not keen
               Holly was hardly braggin'
               much better to enjoy under sun

I hope she entered and won the harp contest. Reads like she really loved music and wanted to do her best. Creative work for the contest. Way to go. Reads like a good contender to me. Your visits to my page delight me. Sara

A sweet mischievous write ! First of all stop bragging and focus not on contests. When do something we really enjoy, satisfaction and even appreciation will automatically come ! Great message too Mala
