acoustic guitar

He sits and strums his acoustic guitar

making sweet tones of comfort and sheer delightful

music that fills the atmosphere.

As I bask inside the glory of the musical tunes.

and melodies.

That echo inside my ears, heart my mind.

Is filled me with beautiful images of heavenly

serenity and calm.

He gazes over to me and smiles.

And I feel such joy at listening to his playing.

This is a really nice poem about how music can uplift your spirits and calm you when you need to be calmed. Having someone play for you, is the icing on the cake for me. How creative is that? Your own personal musician? Doesn't come much better than that Dawn.

Its actually my man learning to play it. And he not that bad either. Got him it when he got cancer. And gave him something to do. And he also got a bass guitar also.

[Chris Shaw]

Excellent that he has something like this to help him. Quite therapeutic Dawn , and no wonder you sit and appreciate. I reckon you need to give him a round of applause now and then :))

[Onlyme]

I do compliment at times. And he laughs. A typical guy.

This piece brings such bliss to my heart! I always listened to my dad playing his guitar and it made me want to get one, to learn. He gladly bought me one last year and I've slowly been teaching myself how to play. I much prefer acoustic guitars instead of electric/bass guitars. Perhaps it's cause I enjoy the softer sounds when you strike a note...when you play a song...I'm not much for electic guitars cause that's for people who enjoy louder type music. I'm more of a soft-sound type of person...I enjoy heavy music at times, but I just enjoy the soft sound of acoustic guitars. Acoustic makes beautiful music. I love mine so much & I named him J.R. --the nickname of Johnny Cash.

Thank you Svetlana, for your thoughts, lovely interesting read. I loved the idea you named your acoustic guitar J.R. I will have to ask my man what he is going to call his now. :) Dawn

[I Am Svetlana]

I was originally going to name him JD (after Jack Daniel's whiskey), but figured J.R. would give him a more personal meaning to me, since I've found Cash to be such an inspiration due to my admiration for him since I was young. It only feels right to name my next guitar after his wife, June.

[Onlyme]

When I was young, we had a dog called JD after the whiskey, and had a cat called snotty, as he was acting posh.

[I Am Svetlana]

Awe, how fitting! My dogs were shih thus and their names were Bongo & Pickle.

[Onlyme]

Aw, I love their names. Bongo & Pickle. We have a cat now called siren and the name is because he is loud like a fire engine siren.

i remember seeing Joe Walsh in concert....second half of the show he rocked out...first half he just played beautiful acoustic stuff....
this reminds me....he is one of my favorite guitarists...yes, they transport us with their nimble fingers...and strings.

Dawn it is music that helps me to write poetry ..it sort of takes me elsewhere and lets the words flow in.

[Onlyme]

Hi Stella I can really understand that helping you find your flow with your poetry. Cheers Stella I enjoyed your thoughts. Dawn.

[Samuel Dickens]

When I saw the title, I knew I had to read it. (I play acoustic guitar and own a sinful number of them) Such a warm and sweet sound they make--right? And in your lovely poem, you add a touch of, shall I say, romance?

[Onlyme]

Samuel you should put up a click of yourself play your acoustic guitar. I really love the sound of them. They just have that magic about them. And thankyou for the comment. Dawn.
