Different Strokes
Some strum the strings. Some scrape the bow. Some cannot sing a note
and so they sit upon the couch and manage the remote.
Dark nights and misty mornings, candles light the way
down stairs and slippery sidewalks deprived of light of day.
The dust of dreams , collected, is spun out by some as art.
Others create fresh music—magic language of the heart.
This poem that I write for you is in a minor key,
for only rather different notes choose to follow me.
So rather than take to my couch and idle life away,
I comb my mind to find these words to see what I might say.
For the Sunday Whirl, word prompts are: remote misty scrape slippery candle fresh dust magic minor strum string follow
I’m part of the can’t sing, can’t play a note brigade, so I sit and listen

They also serve who only sit and listen!!!! What good would creation be if there was no one to listen. It is rewarding just to write, but doubly rewarding to have an appreciative listener or reader.

A nice one to start my day with Judy. Well done~! You not only PULLED MY STRINGS and PUSHED MY BUTTONS, dear~!. I made it all the way from my bed to my chair, and plan to stay there.

Oh it’s the same for me too. I guess we have too much on our mind to remember every detail.

Thanks, Sadje. After I write a poem I totally forget it so had to look back and read it again.
