Sostenuto Monotetra – 13th October 2025

Melodies found within the pain

Lift it up, put it down again


Black or white, they will both remain



Hold and sustain, hold and sustain




Things may not go as you had planned





Falling apart and out of hand







Like counting every grain of sand









Keeping on and….keeping on and….




I’m slowly visiting GloPoWriMo prompts from April, as I didn’t follow them at the time. This prompt, from April 1st, was to use a musical term previously unknown to the writer, in my case sostenuto and for extra inspiration, I searched for a form that I hadn’t used before, too – monotetra.
