from the ABC set

Someone surprised me today.
A new tune from an old fiddle,
from someone who once had no bow.
Of course, it wasn't perfect;
a sour note from misplaced
fingers, but the melody was sweet.
Nothing special in rhythm
just an exposition of the subtle,
instead of fortissimo bombast.

I enjoyed this.
Liked these lines;
'Of course, it wasn't perfect;

fingers, but the melody was sweet.

That's lovely imagery :)

No Beeme :-) The best lines are
the melody was sweet
and
an exposition of the subtle ;-) lol
Cheers Ewan. ;-) lol

How can you talk about a masterpiece in such a meta-nihilist way? You obviously discovered a major poet! Kneel in front of his/her talent and win a home made bazooka.

A leopard changed its spots? or maybe just borrowed a coat for a while...;)
