Gypsy Violin ♪

Thanks Emma Joy, your words inspired this one; "be a violin or whatever.. sweep yourself across the strings"..........

Gypsy at night in my soul

I play the violin

strumming to my heart's content

of my stories untold

Moon winks ornery with dismay

as the furious tunes beguile,

the skies all a fluster

they've turned a dismal grey

Ravens take flight in their delusions

swaying frenzied to the memories

upon my disenchanted head

dancing darkly to my allusions

Author's Note

[jacob erin-cilberto]

this is so poe-ish...but reminds me of sherlock holmes in Murder by Decree, playing the violin after he went to see annie crook at the mental institution and how he cried for her...even as he was playing..

the violin is a beautiful instrument but can play such sad, haunting notes.

this poem is sad and haunting.

So glad it took you there jacob, the feel I was going for, thanks so much.

The Moon, Gypsies and Ravens, you've got the lot and those are great openers to each stanza, quite spooky

[InsanityWriter]

Glad to be of help, amazing what chitter-chatting can do!

There's nothing like a violin to set the feet and thoughts going, words spring to mind and, from you become very special.

[Frieda P]

I think gypsies are a fascinating subject and because music is a passion of mine, second only to writing, only made this poem all the more enjoyable. Thank you, Frieda, this was just beautiful:)

[Frieda P]

Thanks Rebecca, me too, I think I might have been in a past life. ;-)

I'm a gypsy girl at heart. This speaks of emotional turmoil. (I actually got teary-eyed)
Lovely flow of words...and enjoyed the sweet music weaving into each stanza. You deserve a standing ovation on this one! :)
