Beryl Edmonds Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Written 24th September 2024

Sad Songs

Sad sorrowful songs reduce me to tears
Bringing back memories made o'er the years
Of the emergence of my first romance
That ended because of someone's askance.

I moved on and found my only true love
Sent from the matchmaker in sky above
We have had our share of sorrow and pain
Sad songs remind me of those times again.

Tears are souvenirs of sadness it's true 
Yet those tears can be of aid when we're blue
Music is the language of worldwide hearts
And sad songs pull heartstrings soon as they start.

Listening to songs sung to a sad tune
Tears fall as I slow dance around the room
Song and dance have an enchanted effect
Helping the heart and the mind reconnect.

David Crandall September 30, 2024 at 10:28 PM I love music and especially sad songs...hmm, I guess it has a therapeutic effect on us? Kind of paradoxical how "sad" makes us feel better. Nice poem, Beryl about something I can relate to. Beryl Edmonds October 11, 2024 at 7:42 PM Thank you David, I love music too, without it what would life be, it’d be like a world without poetry… Beryl

Jennifer Proxenos September 28, 2024 at 11:26 AM Hi my friend, Unfortunately sadness brings along with it tears, which are heartbreaking. Life can sometimes be cruel, and hearts can be broken, but we therefore so welcome and rejoice when good times roll into our space. Music is soothing and can help get during bad times. A sentimental write Beryl, well penned. Hugs, Jennifer. Beryl Edmonds September 28, 2024 at 6:32 PM Thank you so much Jennifer, without music life would be drab, even though sad songs bring sad memories back… Hugs in return, Beryl
