13 - MELODIES

[The thirteenth entry of April 2016's A-to-Z Blogging Challenge.]

*

A ringing harmony
A clashing dissonance
Furiously loud
Heard from a distance

Leaping octaves
A minor chord
Dynamics shift
Gentleness ignored

Diminished sevenths
Augmented sixths
Unpleasant to the ear
It can't be fixed

Where's the major thirds
And perfect fifths?
The tuneful melodies
And harmonious riffs?

Save us, relieve us
From this pain
We want to hear
Sweet melodies again.
