The haunting sound, my heart’s violin
Plays notes of sadness as I leave
Love we tried hard to compose
Was always out of tune -
Harsh, flat, and off-key.
Writing new songs,
New lyrics
Won’t be
Wrong.

A beautiful Nonet… love the theme of music.
Wonderful! Love how you used music to tell a deeper story. The “harsh, flat, and off key” was a perfection.
Love how you tied it into music! Great entry.

"Harsh, flat, and off-key" It's such a perfect line to add sound to the poem.
So gorgeously done! Love the musical concept of this so much :)
Loved the musical allusions. I have recently taken up a study of music...
