STRUMMING ALONG

Putting order to my many poems in 'limbo'. found another to share.

                  

                       STRUMMING ALONG

Sweet melodies once strummed

   for maiden wooed by song:

she tuned in from far off land.

He bared his soul when she came along.

She listened in awe, attentively ...

for in a haze she pictured him so strong.

His intent was certainly not to stay

for later he would not give her 'time of day'!

He promised not anything: to him it was just a casual fling

           un alike they were, but for love alone

No regrets ... no  kindly acts to atone!

He came not with flair or social pagentry

just a princely heart and much galantry

He ignited a heart that had been broken

          he was the prize token!

The words he spoke were charged with love

              from within

with tunes played on guitar or mandolin.

She prayed to the Gods above that he in turn

              would return true love

that it would be their destiny ...to be together for eternity.

Would so like a "Spell Check" format.

the grammar felt a bit rough in some areas. these lines are interesting:
"The words he spoke were charged with love
from within
with tunes played on guitar or mandolin."

Thank you for your frank review William. Much appreciated but in order for me to improve you must be more brutal! I have faith in constructive critique. If you like you can "Private message" me with suggestions: I would be grateful but bear in mind I do not profess to be a 'Scholar' - No formal training - just writing from the heart!

Trust is a key factor in every relationship and once our heart is broke it certainly is difficult to trust another. I liked the way it ended, with a prayer, destiny play a key role and only lucky few gets the best of all. Thanks for sharing it.

You are so kind Raj. Thanks for a lovely review.

I do like happy endings kitty and this has one. Now wasn't he worth waiting for after the first heart breaker? Some just like to play the field, while others truly do seek love. Good to see you posting. All good wishes.

Good to see you here Christine. Been a sorting the pile of 'unfinished melodies' as you can see. Not winning yet though. Some I have had to change a bit... wonder what I was thinking - no wonder my muse put a stop to posting. Good to see you here. Thanks.

the second "he" certainly a keeper...the first one...well those who use should be similarly abused...
glad she found that mandolin player who turned out to be a real man with good intent.

Indeed Jacob, the search for 'true' love can be a trying and often difficult one. The 'pairing' of the sexes takes honesty, time and give and take! Thank you for your valued opinion. Have a good day now.
