Colleen’s Poetry Challenge – Hobby & Play
The prompt words for Colleen’s Weekly Poetry challenge #129 are Hobby and Play: Synonyms Only.
Love of Music
I loved music, photography, and drawing as a kid. If I had a choice of a different career, I would prefer to do something with music. The popular vocations for girls were being teachers or nurses at that time. For the practical reason, I chose to be a teacher and took part in music as an enjoyment at leisure. I have had fun singing all my life. My two sisters, Yolanda and Queenie, and I sang in Mercy’s wedding in 2011. I sing in chorale groups and Messiah concert on a ongoing basis.
Live a balanced life
Keep a reasonable job
To afford pleasure

The Showers of Blessings 
Hello, Miriam! Very sensible advice. I’m happy you’re still singing. I love music too. My sisters and I used to have a singing group growing up and we sang at churches and schools. The we all joined our church’s choir for some time. We still sing at different occasions too. We have lots in common, my friend. ❤ xo

Oh, Vashti, that’s the part I don’t know about you, and I’m so glad to know that you also sing. If we live close together, we can be in a group!! ❤ xox

Soprano, we can sing a duet! ❤ I used to have a partner singing with me, and had a friend to do the accompaniment. ❤
