Girl with Cello

Silver-spun-sand
I am at a cresendo reading
this beautiful flowing poem,
the title attracted me 'Girl with Cello'
its a gem.
Like it all.
Stanza is 2nd one;
A chandelier weeps tarnished,
crystal tears outshone
by its incondescence,
as she comes in
from the wind
and the drifting snow..

Great stuff Tina, the atmosphere you concey is incredible. I really love the second stanza but might one be so bold as to suggest a slight modification, i.e.:

A chandelier weeps tarnished,
crystal tears,
outshone by her incandescence,
as she comes in
from the wind
and drifting snow...

Hope you don't mind the suggestion, but if i just said how wonderful you're stuff was all the time you might think I was insincere.

Anyhoo, as i said, great stuff.

David, you are inspired;-) I agree wholeheartedly. 'Her' is way better than 'it' and it took you to show me.

Seriously though, so pleased you liked this one, and thank you again, for your wisdom;-)

'Her reprise breathes
deep and low in quavering
vibrato; the phantom
she evoked tonight,
eventually requited...'

I love this stanza. An amazing poem with some brilliant imagery. A well deserved cherry!

'Candles on the shelf
resonate in perfect harmony –
bass, alto and soprano
as she reaches her crescendo...
but tenderly; her thighs
a cradle for her muse.'

- love this stanza, Tina! And I am a sucker for music imagery so this piece was an absolute delight to read. Well done on the cherry ;)

Thank you, Magic. Glad you enjoyed...and your lovely comment, a delight to read as well;-)

This whole poem is so beautiful to read over & over again! The lovely, but empty house, secret silence & the closeness of musician & instrument. I know you already have a cherry & I give you one from me too, this must be a favourite! Kahdai xx

And yours is definitely the sweetest cherry, Kahdai. Quite 'moreish' in fact;-)

Seriously though, glad you enjoyed. Your comments are always so helpful and so beautifully written. Thank you.

I'm going to have to steal Nathan's favourite verse;

"Her reprise breathes
deep and low in quavering
vibrato; the phantom
she evoked tonight,
eventually requited..."

this stood out for me although the whole poem is jam packed full of beautiufl imagery. I really enjoyed :)

Beeme - I am sure Nathan won't mind...not a bit;-)

So pleased you liked this.
