Surly songs
Played by hungry men
Plucking staccato roots
Spotted chords of dried dearth
Cleansed in strummed pots of boiling verse
The drum drummed
The guitar strummed
The trombone oom pah pah'd
The audience clapped
Because they were rapt
And some called out Hurrah
Those words bruised my soul
strummed my mysterious heart
with needled fingers
scrubbed my deluded mind
stranded me, in a deep mire
.

The purple bass
was held by the Voice of Rock
Notes were strummed
like the feathers of angels
That is they sounded beautiful
in the sunset sky above
A tenant farmer strummed one note
That some would argue Chopin wrote
Neighbours heard that sound
And plowed up his ground
Monotony sure got their goat!
tenuous strands
lithely tethering
the soul to reality...
strummed unevenly
by life
sharp notes
compose
a subtle dirge
of mournful
ambivalence

This world seems to have strummed the wrong chord
So I offered a prayer to the Lord
Will wars never cease
When we all want peace . . . .
But my prayer was cut short by a sword
Violins tuned in distant dark
heartstrings strummed calmly wait for warmer moonlight
~ melodies conjuring the sweetest memories

ruddy trawlers creak
as fire strummed whitecaps compose-
seagulls lock their wings
sage eyes, pursed in wry wrinkles
squint toward salt misted shards
syllables 5-7-5-7-7
she strummed her guitar and we sang
by the glow of the campfire
we were free and had no worries
we thought the summer would never end

Jacob and his guitar sat down on magestic mars
strummed their tune to the delight of the stars
the earth got silent, her orange showing through
he was adorable, sincere, melodic, and innocent true.
Last night, I strummed a rainbow of songs.
Songs written by many diverse folks from, across the world.
Afterwards, I slid down that rainbow and celebrated the pot of gold I had found.
The body
Johan on the strand
The sun shone on his belly
Gulls had gouged his eyes
Crabs crawled into his nose
came out of his mouth
A shroud of sea tar
A man strummed a guitar
A girl laughed
A summer in 1954.
The stiffened
star strummed streams
of half hummed hopes
and dismally
dismantled dreams.
Wistfully washing
through the
withering woodlands
of the worldly
wandering truth
to what this
life really means .
Heaven
High above crests descry
heralds angelic hosts.
Hallelujahs sing to
hallow lazuline skies,
hailing from God's own breath.
Harps strummed in perfect love -
harmonies quench like rain.

The sounds of Autumn
Crickets legs as violins
Locusts screech from nowhere close.
Throwing their voices
As ventriloquists mimic
While leaves are strummed by slow winds.
Lightening bugs culminate
Sight into the symphony
My personal Fantasia.
Upon the dusk violin,
Death is now but an angel,
Being moved on its strings like a harmony,
“As Pain is a beauty”
Aloft and stroking into your ears with precision.
“Just as love is a tragedy”
Being strummed perfectly,
By the violins dusked bow.
Blues suffused with rhythm
Born from pangs of regret
Bound with longing and need
Bass guitar slowly strummed
B.B. King's sad lament
Bittersweet love gone wrong
Broken heart; mournful soul

~~Brian Strand: Judged 2020 July 28
he wore a tiny boater hat,
my mouse who played guitar,
and patrons at the local pub
cheered, "wow, you've got a star!"
but then some talent-scout came in
while mouse strummed on the bar …
"because he cannot sing," he groused,
"he'll never make it far."
Glassy lamp flickers come midnight
to expose her quiet charm
while fingers thumb tingle of brass--
Her sway a quavering string
in beats of harp - plucked interludes ,
gently grating strummed goodbye.

While music holds memories of each second
And the devil weeps with each beat of her heart.
Unfit to steal, her essence will not depart.
He ciphers - baffled by this new development.
Designed by three simple chords - strummed with new contempt,
The madman crawls crooked - knowing she is exempt.
I failed
I failed
I failed
I took that pic and strummed like there’s no tomorrow
I failed
I spectacularly failed
I fell forward again only to fail to no avail
I continued to fail
I failed so badly life just smirked at me and spit
I didn’t notice
I was too busy failing
I forgot to quit
Words, dumbstruck
Hushed, stuck
Seething, soundless
Tongue tied, speechless
Still, in a stupefied daze
Lashed by roaring waves
Of silence, pin drop
Strummed a mute song
With echoes across
The entire cosmos
