The piano played that day;
it played the day away,
and the clouds rolled in,
upon the waves

of sheet music
grim and grey,
playing away

sour notes
that failed
because a promise
that was made
has now
decayed

The music speaks of it.

The piano played that day.
It played the day away.

Prompt from the creative Dr. Casey Lawrence:

Use any or all of the following concepts for a story:

— Cloudy skies
— A broken promise
— Her piano recital

A castle keep with a Welsh flag (red dragon with white sky and green grass background) flying overhead
A piano with sheet music on top
Girl with goth skull makeup, a black dress, and a single rose
