Edith Piaf's best known song is... Non je ne regrette rien. No,I don't regret anything.Learning a wind instrument takes patience and discipline. If you watch the clip you will see how you only have to master a few notes to be part of a wind band.
ReplyDeleteThe piece they are playing is Non je ne regrette rien.!
Deleteoh those sour notes! But none here in your wonderful poem - well played! K
ReplyDeletePatience with discipline can accomplish a lot of good things. And regretting nothing is surely a peaceful place to be.
ReplyDeleteA great clip taken from a very good film and I like the way your poem illustrates it. I think it is too late for me to have this kind of patience.
ReplyDeletemy ipad didn't let me see the clip. But I enjoyed the poem. You did a great job with the challenge. Def you have nothing to regret.
ReplyDeleteOh I loved you wrote about her..favorite of mine and the form emphasizes her character.
ReplyDeleteThe concept of a sour note samba.. I would probably regret it, but for sure Piaf would not regret anything,
