denied her music
life was silent and restless
barren without blooms

“Silent and restless” conjures up a nightmare. This is very effective.

I don’t like the sound of that! Never thought of that kind of being stranded, but it so true.

Life without music would indeed be barren. There are so many ways of interpreting this prompt.

No music? That truly would be barren without blooms. We have a very musical family, nit that I play, but now I want to go plead with one of my parents to play!! Where did you ever find this photo? A Forgotten Piano; I was sad before I read the Haiku. My Stranded post is here: http://willthink4wine.blogspot.com/2008/04/one-single-impression-stranded.html
Your comment about the pecan trees and missing your parents makes me sad, too. You simply must visit them! Soon!

This is beautiful. I feel the same way about music.

..i heard the melody
the melody heard the sorrow!..

I too love the picture.
Your poem is a perfect interpetation for being stranded.
It got me thinking of how many things in life people forget. I am a musician and have not played in over 20 years.

OOH!

I would be that way without my art. Very expressive words.

Really hauntingly stirring. Nicely done.

barren without blooms – lovely line – and the truth. One of the things I had to give up when my life fell apart was my piano. I still miss it terribly. Heartbreaking photo… yet beautiful.

excellent piece..

That dilapidated keyboard works so well with your ideas of no sound of music or visual of musical growth.

This is just beautiful – the haiku and the photo marvelous together!

this is beautiful. I know the barrenness of life without music. The photo is perfect.

The picture is perfect and sad. Your words match it.
I never thought of stranded in that light, but you brought back a memory of a man I met as a young teenager – and stranded fits that and what you wrote.

Well done – art and man are destined to flower together!

Hello,
What is the fee to use the broken keyboard picture for a Music CD Cover?
Thanx

there’s no such thing as beginning at the beginning- just when would that be, and who would tell the story? but some moments in a life suggest a kind of punctuation: quick-stop comma, full-stop period, or the in between caesuras of semi-colon and colon. rosalyn brown, half a heart
