Tap tap tap
Conductor sounds
Symphony in position
Choir stands tall
Recognizable melody
Expected crescendo
Unexpected tears from my eyes
My first outing without you
In my widowhood
Here I sit unsure but I’m doing this
Stepping out here on my own
Taking myself to dinner alone
You would be proud of your gal
Seeking and finding joy
Sometimes the hardest things to do
Are the most beautiful too
NaPoWriMo.net Prompt: And now here’s our daily (optional) prompt. Sawako Nakayasu’s poem “Improvisational Score” is a rather surreal prose poem describing an imaginary musical piece that proceeds in a very unmusical way. Today, try your hand at writing your own poem in which something that normally unfolds in a set and well understood way — like a baseball game or dance recital – goes haywire, but is described as if it is all very normal.

So beautiful, Rebeca.
