Sadden'd violin strings

 sadden'd violin strings

     wreak havoc

         in the torrid rain

 pouring out flutter of hearts

        within melodic aqueous bliss

   whispering unto raven's breath

      dancing upon fire 'tween

           the dewdrop'd baubles

   splashing in spirits of darkly 

         relentless melancholy echoes

I love Lindsey. I have been a fan of her for a long time. Beautiful artwork and amazing poetry. I like the way you led the reader into a calm sadness. The violin played with skill. Can steal our heart and mind. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.

Thanks so much Coyote, I can't believe I've only just found her amazing talent...she does wondrous things with a violin.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Awesome poetry my friend.The music was really good too :)

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much Vidya, I'm obsessed with her now :-)

[Vidya Bacchus]

You are welcome and I think I might check out more of her music :)

[Frieda P]

She's very versatile, I can't get enough of her, enjoy :-)

[Vidya Bacchus]

Will do :)

I love your style - it's so very unique. And the addition of the music (although not necessary because your poetry can stand alone easily) only makes it better...

[Frieda P]

Thanks for visiting and this glowing review Rachael, much appreciated.

aqueous bliss.... nice. Sly dog.
Great poem Frieda.
This chick with the violin is crazy.
Is she a raccoon in one of those clips, or is that an elf?

[Frieda P]

I know, I"m so envious of her talent and style...I think she's supposed to be a fairy, thanks Terry.

[Chandradhish Ghosh]

Is it inspired from the video that you have posted? You have a power with words Freida...your use of words is very attractive.

[Frieda P]

Yes more or less, started out with violins, saw this video and it took on a life of it's own, I just played along with the muse...thanks so much.

What a nice write, and I absolutely love the accompanying piece by Lindsey! Terrific pairing!

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much, she's amazing, isn't she?

violins can make you cry, they vibrate at the speed of melancholy echoes, and yes wreak havoc.. using my kindle and so can't yet hear the music you embedded... Frieda, from the torrid rains to aqueous bliss and raven's breath we are treated to beautiful expressive poetry.. I read your poem and then had to glue together the pieces of my heart.. I still hear the echoes.. ~~redzone

'they vibrate at the speed of melancholy echoes' I love that, sounds like poetry to me, thanks so much curt, you're too kind my friend.

[R. L. Hill]

Stunning. I hear the undulated pulsing of violently strung chords.

[Frieda P]

Woo, I love how you phrase'd that, thanks so much Quirklet.

Of course, doll

The music is enchanting, so much passion and emotion comes from some where very deep and even deeper still is your poem my friend. This is absoluetly beautiful Frieda. I can tell you were moved by the music and I can assure you, if the violinist were to read this, she too would be just as moved. It is amazing to me how you can take something as wonderful as this music and make it even more gorgeous with your words. You know how music effects me...almost...almost as much as your poetry... sliding this one right into my favorites.

[Frieda P]

You always humble with your poetic responses Jack, most times I like them better than my poetry...thanks so much from the bottom of my heart dear friend.

This is beautiful. I like the line that says, "dancing upon fire 'tween the dewdrop'd ." the contrast between water and fire really adds a sort of rhythmic movement. Yet, the introduction of raven's and darkly spirits seem to keep the dance between the two in place. Moreover, the music that you chose to pair with the piece was perfect. I just can't get over how wonderful this all is.

[Frieda P]

Wow what a riveting review, I'm so thrilled you enjoy'd this one, I was really moved by the music...was looking for violin music for this piece originally and then it just took off on a flight of it's own, thanks so much.
