Cavatina

musical sighs

music plays
her sweet melody in mind

 

short-lived

but
the memory lasts forever

 

 

Author's Note

In opera the cavatina is an aria, generally of brilliant character, sung in one or two sections without repeats..and alas, she was a cavatina, with no repeat

Reviews

[Mockingbird]

although it may be played only once the melody becomes etched in our minds; may come to you thoughout your your life. it may or may not bring up the image but the song is still there.

[FJ Davis]

Being a once-played cavatina, she is unique; twice-played, she is nearly so.
In either event, she will certainly not be forgotten.
Marvelous bit of work, WM!

So many things bring back a sweet memory..like... chick a bow bow ..

[Ed Hart]

alas, a lass
it didn't last
long time past
old memory's grasp

[J. J. Nightingale]

Memories do last forever, or till we can no longer remember ..

Sad .. but true .. J.
