Singing Not Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Singing Not



Singing not

No talent for scores
Nothing of piano
Violin, nor guitar…
Could not be canary
Nightingale…
No singing…

Tried to mimic the
Utmost voice
Of Morgan Freeman!

He tried and tried and tried
All in vain, waste of time …
-unable!
-a failure!

Listened to the advice
-go and sing in shower
No success…

He did what many do
Took pen and its friend
-the paper
Made them kiss
The outcome was lyrics.

Went and found friends who
Could write notes, and or sing.

Happy with music
Spoke with the voice man
Gave lyrics, also chance
The singer read with love
Shook his head, looking up
With tears in his eyes:
-this is you; I can't sing!

Poet found a corner
Faced the wall, complained:
-words cannot take message
-with no rhyme, no meter!
