April is National Poetry Writing Month, and I have once again taken up the challenge of writing a poem a day for the entire month. My first two efforts are not blog-worthy, but I'll post this one for day three.
Prompt: Write a poem that involves a story or action that unfolds over an appreciable length of time.
A New Song
The record spins
And plays its tune,
Its melody etched in each groove,
The perfect performance every time.
There is some satisfaction in that perfection.
No need to change a thing...
Until a scratch
Impedes the progress
Of the needle,
And a word or note
Repeats
Repeats
Repeats
A New Song emerges
Alive
Varied
Improvised
No longer
Restrained or confined.
The beauty of the New Song
Steels my heart.
