Player, Piano

from the ABC set Thoughts and Poems.

My fingers confidently flounce through
all the Fugues and Blues they know. While
eyes lazily glaze over each primed page.
One footprint lovingly presses pedals
to the floor. Its companion drumming the beat,
dealing music at its core.
The keys dance an effortless routine, from
darkest black to blinding white and all colours
in between.
"When will life be this easy and free?"
The question, even now, whispers to me,
as I sit down, tonight, to practice.

Very good. I especially liked the line 'one footprint lovingly presses pedals'.

A very conventional poem for you keleph.
I liked the black and white contrast.

thanks Doeslittle.

I know Law ;) , I thought I should try to write about something physical. I probably prefer my abstract stuff but I hope I've managed to put some of that depth into this. I think its kinda diluted by the physical world though...

Nice, surprised you've yet to earn a cherrypick. Some of your pieces certainly deserve more recognition. Keep it up, this pice is good, very visual.

Cool poem keleph - I especially like the expression "fingers confidently flounce" - I can really see it...

thanks Pombal, and thanks for the cherry!
