pennylane731's Diaryland Diary

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

it's karaoke night somewhere

the chanteuse
with her nightly dedications
stalked by ex-lovers
but she's in a trance,
elsewhere
sparking to breathe,
clearing her throat

notes soar
slightly out of practice
slightly strained
but always in tune

waiting for the proper audience to arrive
she never needed the volume past 3
while others needed 10 or more

this is her madrigal
