Description
The music dies,When that thunderous bolt of lightning
Touches my fingers,
And sends that message
Not good enough...
Again do I try,
So hard to make it right,
But still
Not good enough...
The Rhythmic movement of my melody,
Seems to soothe all but thee,
You troublesome sky
That hangs over me
This rhapsody I play
Seems caught up in dismay
When I cringe at the thought,
Not good enough...
And now,
My once secure place,
Has been altered
By some great earthquake of change
No longer am I among the highest clouds,
I am in the dungeons
Where no light seeps through,
No song reaches my ears
Only that faint whisper...
Not good enough...

This really caught my attention as I'm also learning music right now, but the person saying "not good enough" is myself. It really spoke to me - nice work

Really? What instrument are you learning to play? Don't worry though! I'm sure you'll be a splendid musician!
Thank you!

You're welcome! For me, the toughest thing about piano is getting my hands to cooperate and play the two separate lines in different rhythms.
I only know a couple small and simple songs on piano. Good luck!

Thank you, good luck for you as well. Piano is much harder than it looks

This is GREAT. I love how you took your anger and made it into this great poem! It reminds me of something that the composer in your other poem would say.
Have you thought of writing a story in poems? Like writing a story and then having poems, as opposed to songs.

A lot of my poetry sort of ends up like a story, but I don't ever really have more than just one character. I could give it a try!!
