Notes About The Poem

A sweet poet urged me to enter the contest. I don't know art so I was hesitant. Of course the art is the great work of Marc Chagall

 

The Fiddler

Music pierces where words escape every mood a tune a hearts embrace

Hi Inky! Painfully it rhymes sorta! I think like that! I fear it is not a proper Monoku of 17 syllables! I can’t get the photo to upload! Uuugh! Thank you!
