mango tree

contest: http://www.writerscafe.org/contests/HELENA'S-10-WORDS-~-A-Blue-Rose-Cafe-Contest!/52789/

long thin fingers strumming the harp 

playing a gypsy or Yiddish music dancing 

the kindness planting the necessary peace and hope

against the vicious army relations with beautiful people

it could be a violin refining residual memories

on the ridge of the roof fiddling offerings of seeds

to have a mango tree flourishing 

and giving us the fruit of love in the future

I don't know why the Fiddler on the Roof came to my mind!

Oh, how delightful a way you have used the ten words for the contest! I especially like that you have spoken of the fruit of love in the future!! You're certainly "one up" on me as I looked at the words and my brain went blank.........LOL
Good luck in the contest!

Having attempted this contest, with a completely negative outcome, I 'm full of admiration for the way you have been able to weave those 10 words into a coherent and meaningful poem.

I like the way you wove the music into peace and kindness, and used the mango tree as a symbol of love. The poem makes me imagine I hear that music.
