Mystery and Melody

Don't try to understand too hard. 
The lyrics you may disregard.  
For, in life's song, you must see
the meaning's in the melody.

The neat rhyming couplets give this poem a songlike flow, beautifully echoing its message that life’s meaning may be felt rather than explained. The closing line brings form and thought together with gentle assurance. Congratulations on your contest podium win 🌹

(Andrea has me laughing over her nerve in expressing the MASSIVE losing a streak she's endured, she has miniature ones at the most.) I do concur with Andrea's "way to go" and "very cool little poem." (I still haven't had a chance to give a listen, but I will tonight) Congrats

Wow. Number 1 win . Way to go, David. Very cool little poem. I am on a massive losing streak with these contests (these bitesize ones). Editing my comment in case this wasn't clear to you, David. And again, I am happy for your well deserved win

Thanks, Andrea! Most of my poems are 6 lines and under, so I have lots of choice - lol. Keep trying!
