Notes About The Poem

Unfinished Songs

Unfinished songs

Ruptured buildings and bones
A broken piano
A foot poking out the window
A bomb killed this last song

Broken hearts lying in rubble
Rigor mortis sung in treble
Silence sings for all who mourn
Unfinished songs

Symphonies for those with no ears

Darren White June 25, 2017 at 2:08 AM I thought I commented on this, but I can't find it anywhere.... Symphonies for those with no ears indeed. And if you extend that metaphor, those with no ears never can hear the music and harmony we so desperately need. They destroy our song. Arthur Vaso August 26, 2017 at 7:29 PM You might not be crazy, but I sure am!!! Darren White June 25, 2017 at 2:09 AM pfft and then my comment suddenly appears, so I'm not crazy after all LOL

Heidi Sands June 24, 2017 at 8:48 AM This is a very powerful poem Arthur. So much said, to think about in this poem. Very well done! It also really reached me too, because I play piano. I do know what harsh critics are like as well. Arthur Vaso August 26, 2017 at 7:29 PM Ah I love music! Thank you.

Darren White June 24, 2017 at 2:26 AM "Symphonies for those with no ears" That line says it all. Very, very painful truth my friend... Great poem. Arthur Vaso August 26, 2017 at 7:27 PM Thanks Darren!
