Matthew Anish Poet Blank verse

No Regrets

My time as a 
   French hornist
led me nowhere
My jazz,rock and classical studies 
   led me nowhere
I used to sing while
   my father played the piano(and he was an excellent pianist
He set my poetry to music - created art songs
He is gone now 
dead at 81 
Which is longer than average
I am 58 
So, I'm not a first French Hornist or
An accomplished rock , jazz or, classical pianist 
I am a published poet! As is everyone 
on this site! 
Greetings to all of you 
From New York's Lower East Side

Lucilla Carrillo May 23, 2014 at 12:11 PM Hi Matthew; Having no regrets is a great thing. We are who we are and everyone is different. At least we tried to be the best we could be. Smile and be happy - you are still young.... Lucilla

Andrea Dietrich May 19, 2014 at 4:13 PM well, Matt, right you are, and I hope you might live beyond your father's years, because that does not give you a whole lot of more time, from 58 to 81. YIKES. our time is running out......
