Sweetest Music

The older the Violin... the sweeter the Music

An ancient Tale when Strings were new  

A Mother's Bow swept across the brow of 

a Baby born with talents embedded and 

played Violins when Pharaohs were empowered.  

The Music flowed on the Nile where Romance smiled... 

A Princess with Violet eyes was mesmerized with 

Secrets of the Pyramids where many a Scholar 

discovered the "tools" to measure the outside World.   

Blue Flamingoes flew about to Welcome the 

Music of an ancient Art .. where once again 

the Nile would be the Virgin River  

where old Violins played their Rhapsodies...

Dear Pat. I loved the dance of words. I wanted to read more. You took me to beautiful and wonderful place. In one week. I will retire 100%. I will finish six stories needing ending and try to edit 2500 poems. Must publish somethings before I get too old. I will be on-line more. Thank you dear friend for sharing the outstanding poetry.

Thank you dear Pat. I hope you are doing well and having some fun. I am enjoying my time with my grandchildren.

The Princess with the violet eyes. My thoughts went straight to Elizabeth Taylor and the Cleopatra movie and Richard Burton. I was totally mesmerised watching for the first time, many years ago. Flamingoes are such graceful creatures and as I thought about them I remembered Manfred Mann and their song Pretty Flamingo. Blue ones would be something really special. My favourite violin concerto is by Mendelsson. Such a soulful piece. Your beautiful poem took me to many places dear Pat and many people. Sending warm wishes across the pond.

Good morning Pat from across the world.
I enjoyed your sweet poem so much as the first poem I am reading early this morning.
My father was born in Russia but lived on the Nile from age 2 ( Born in 1913) until he was an adult.
His father was an artist and one of his watercolour paintings of the Nile sits atop our fireplace.
Ah, the music of the Nile..such a lovely thought.
Loved it...
Lisa

dear Lisa… your review is very touching and amazing… to know that your Father lived on the Nile until he was an adult… simply takes my Breath away and to know you have a Painting in your Home. I was raised on Bible stories that are so much like our Life at this Point in Time. We can only Trust that there is more to Heaven and Earth than we can ever Imagine. We could use a few Miracles in our World. Lovely story and I appreciate your sharing … with me and others. gently, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Lisa .. I realize your Father was born in Russia and lived on the Nile from age two to an Adult. So lovely that his Father painted a picture of the Nile that you have in your Home. My fathers family were born in Hungary. My Father loved to read Shakespeare, but also was interested in Religious beliefs. I tend to not dwell too deeply into Religion; however, I do believe in the Holy Spirit. Be Brave and stay well. tenderly, Pat

I recently watched a Doc film , when Cleopatra sailed . It was some awesome spectacle , and you’ve captured this , in your Beautiful Poem

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Stuart…. When I penned the words “a Princess with violet eyes”… I was thinking of when Elizabeth Taylor played “Cleopatra” along the Nile. Of course Elizabeth herself had Violet eyes. It is awesome that your review reflected that. I just felt a Wave of serendipity. I appreciate your playing the 💜 Heart of an Old Violin. tenderly, Pat

[Stuart Munro]

Pat , i have never seen Cleopatra with Liz ,I think I missed out lol, it’s just that I saw a Documentary , and guessed lol , have a Great Weekend

[Betty Hermelee]

I love the way you show us the great Nile River, in ancient times, where music flowed... and a princess was taken by the the magnificent pyramids....Blue Flamingos welcomed the music of "ancient art" the beginning of the violin as a musical instrument.... LOVELY!
Best, B

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Betty… you are a darling to appreciate the music 🎶 of the Nile… Blue Flamingos are my Passion…. Peace and 💗 Love, Pat

[Betty Hermelee]

My pleasure!!! and your very welcome!
Best, B

"the Nile would be the Virgin River where old Violins played their Rhapsodies.." love this line. Music spans time and cultures. It is a universal language. Such a lovely read, Ms. Pat. Thank you for sharing. Temp

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Temp…. So much Beauty in this World to discover… Let us Hope and Pray..
that People will try to save our Cultures and find a way to Peace and 💗 Love, gently, Pat

[Temperance]

There is much beauty in our world worth saving and protecting.

I love a few violinists
There’s Andre and another younger one the name will return ??
It’s mesmerising
Love your poem !

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Julie… a pleasure to know you love Violins 🎻 as their sound is so soft and deeply touching .. We often listen to Celtic Thunder on U-Tube where a few Irish Ladies play Violins and Dance and also the Men sing Songs of Ireland and Scotland. Thank you for sharing . tenderly, Pat

[Julie McCarthy (juliespenhere)]

I just recalled it’s David Garrett and Andre Rieu

[Julie McCarthy (juliespenhere)]

[Patricia Wedel]

Hi Julie… I am familiar with Andre Rieu… I will look up David Garrett… thanks, Pat
Andre Rieu always has a Wonderful Show… he is very talented.. playing the Violin and Singing in an accent in some sort of opera Style…. Fascinating!! Pat

[Julie McCarthy (juliespenhere)]

Yes look up David Garrett

[Patricia Wedel]

David Garrett is quite the Performer…
Thanks for guiding me to a Star…. Pat

[jacob erin-cilberto]

even then...poetry, singer/songwriters who didn't even know what that term meant.
Feelings flowed artistically as smoothly as that Nile...
and old violins beget new violins...and we still play those rhapsodies today.

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Jacob… your Review is a vintage version of an Elvis Love Song… where a mellow Poet dreams of Pyramids and Blue Flamingoes … ever after and now. gently, Pat

[andrew mitchell]

I can hear the harps playing too Pat.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Andrew… heavenly Harps with Violins would certainly soothe the Pharaoh’s. Muse.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Folks. Old Violins play Blue Rhapsodies... the touch of a
Master's Hand... Amen... the Author, Pat
