Poetry Monday's once a week.
I bet you know which day.
I don't participate every time,
But today I've come out to play.My friends assign each week a theme,
Music is what they chose.
Now it's up to all of us,
to put our thoughts into prose.Magic
Looking at someone's play list,
can really say a lot,
what genre is their favorite,
or which band's currently hot.
"Tell me what one song you love,"
over coffee, a new friend inquires.
"All-time favorite, number one,
that speaks to you, inspires."
Not sure how to answer him,
Desperado? In You Eyes?
Every Breath You Take? Sweet Dreams?
My hometown's Aerosmith takes the prize?
"Impossible to pick just one,
that's better than the rest."
She stopped, thinking through her point,
about this she would not jest:
"Sometimes when life gets me down,
and I begin to quake,
to the kitchen's where I go,
it's soothing just to bake."
Peanut Butter Brownie Pie
"But in my darkest moments when,
I can't reach any goal.
When, with time, it starts to seem,
that bad luck's on a roll."
"On those rare occasions if,
I feel I've lost control.
When I just can't catch any break,
over time, that takes a toll."
"Whenever that should happen,
life has dug me a deep hole,
I know that I can count on this:
music soothes my soul."
Wait!Read more poetry,
you're not through.
