Notes About The Poem

Within Her Song

Her musical style may have been avant - garde
  But her sad songs left ennui emotions and hearts scarred

 When she found herself within the lyrics of her song
 Her romantic elan diminished before long 

 She had given him carte blanche to her heart
 But soon, a deja vu of broken dreams it did impart

 She thought that his love was bona fide
 But deep within an anomaly did reside

 A cacophony of musical notes echoed across baroque structures
 Where love's melody was but a dilettante allure

Wow Joseph I like the way you incorporated the ten words, they blended seamlessly, cacophony and baroque tough words, you're a brave man I never even tried this one, reads like a winner to me!

Wow, a beautiful song my friend Joseph, which you've coupled with a very appropriate image of the weeping willow. It is so sad for a woman facing this situation. Loved the way you crafted the poem. A FAVE from me ...Maria PS all the best in the contest.
