The Cello

Swiftly my fingers cross above you
they make their way from your neck
which melody shall I imbue?
a heartless sound in air is just a speck
your body sings to the bow I master
the very artifact to create beauty
my name is art, I shall play faster
pleasing the ears is our duty.

A long night passed
our souls sweaty they rest
we save the best for last
now, let's leave them impressed!

Popular music, jazz, world music and neoclassical – these are just some of the cello’s qualities! Loved the poetic, near romanticised imagery of your lovely piece – really shows a love for the instrument!

Oh I enjoyed this very much ...

~Classical music is a beautiful art form that came before any other present genre if I'm not mistaken. You detail the cello in a way that compliments the use of personification well. Who would not be impressed with the skill that it takes to play such an instrument. A well crafted poem.~

THE PERSPECTIVE IS PURE GOLD! You make the cello not your tool but your partner, truly brilliant. Keep it up!!

[Dalton Holt]

Very well written. You can feel that energy in your words, you can almost hear the sound of a cello playing. Word choice is good and the rhyme is impressive. Keep it up.

Belisimo, well written, definitely was involved in that closeness you were having... but threes a crowd... kudos and thanks for sharing this...

Short, powerful and has this feeling of urgent creativity, passion, longing. Lovely.
