Busking

 Hi Alan,

 

We are delighted to announce that 'Busking' has been judged a 'commended' entry in our 2024 music themed poetry competition.

 

Your poem will be published in our new anthology, due for release in December. The anthology will include all winning, highly commended and commended entries from our music themed short story and poetry competitions.

 

 You will also receive a free copy of the anthology, which will be published as an ebook. We will send you the codes for that when the book is released in December.

 

Congratulations,

 

Sean Lee (Short Stories Unlimited)



Take your hands out of your pocket.

Don’t give me money.

Listen. Enjoy my song.

Click your fingers.

Wiggle your hips.

Whistle. Sing along.

I’ve put my soul into brightening your day.

Filling your head full of music. 

Giving this empty street colour.

Give me a few nice words.

Bend and whisper to me:

Sounds good.  

Love your song.

Keep it up. 

Made my day.

Say thank you.

And I will say thank you.

Thank you for listening. 

Thank you for making me happy. 

Making music makes me happy.
