Charlie Byrd’s Piano Blues

Posted on April 10, 2023 by purplepeninportland

Written for: The Sunday Muse #254

This is becoming
quite boring.  I could 
be out eating worms.
Learned chopsticks
which should have
sufficed.  But no,
they insisted on
that classic, 
Für Elise, 
and I’m just not 
feeling it.  Not my fault 
that they cannot fly 
nor is it my fault 
that I cannot play?

who write, or simply enjoy reading poetry.  I hope to touch a nerve
in you, and feel your sparks as well.

    This took me back to my childhood and suffering those boring piano lessons when I’d rather have been outside having fun! Nice one.
