Private Audition

Young musicians vied for prizes
She and her violin did not win

Dejection bleeds from her body
sitting rigid to regain composure

A smiling older man asks her to
accompany him to a large office

He had conducted the orchestra
accompanying every audition

He offers his condolences and
a long contract to join his band


F William Broome 2008

Bravo, as a lover of violin concerts and anything with a solo virtuoso in it, it warms my heart that the opportunity is giving to those wanted to play the instrument without the press or expectation of a win.

I have long been a believer that in most things we make our own lucky...and rejection is not a reflection of our talent but of another's taste. Well cone, my friend...

Often times these little miracles occur especially in the arts and entertainment fields... an unknown actor passed over for a one line part is rememmbered by the producer in a movie that requires a larger part...fate or just the way peoplle are perceived at different times. Regardless a great write that brings out our sympathy and then our joy as the girl is rewarded.
