Notes About The Poem

11/3/2025 for PERSONALLY SPEAKING Poetry Contest sponsored by Nette Onclaud

 

The Saxophone

Romantic saxophone, 
how do you know when I'm alone
and feeling sad and blue?
Yes, that's when I know that you,
being ever dutiful,
will play a tune that's beautiful,
and surely make me cry
until my tears are dry.

Playing the blues while you cry until you’re no longer sad.
