A Very Fine Affair

from the ABC set Silver Spun Sand Poems

Bach was to blame
for bringing them together;
struck from the first time
he saw her. His knees
went totally weak,
whilst hers hugged
her cello.

Her wrists, so lithe,
so deliciously supple,
and those fingers,
plucking the strings
in such peremptory
pizzicato, sent
his spine all a-tingle.

The rise and fall
of her breasts,
in perfect duple-time
had him mesmerised

as he envied that whisper
of a dress – caressed
her thighs...and yet,
her ‘Air on a G string’
was his real undoing.

Ah have been looking forward to reading another poem of yours Tina and was not disappointed at all! Wonderful and sensual. I'm not sure about the spelling of pizzicato- but I couldn't find it in my dictionary so you have the benefit!

Lovely

Hi Tina,

there is such an 'Air' of sexy lust to this poem.
with the music combined it almost tantalizes the
reader.

Wonderfully descriptive and much enjoyed.

Jenny.

Hi there, Pia;-)

Pleased you enjoyed...and I just rechecked that funny word, 'pizzicato', and though it does look rather odd, to say the least, it's certainly 'pukka', as they say;-)

Tina;-)

I'm really glad you enjoyed this one so much, Jenny. I must say, I enjoyed writing it;-)

Have a good day.

Tina

Hello there Sand Lady.

I visited this one last night and posted off a comment.
Went missing though, so here it is.

"...pizzicato..." and here is me thinking that this was some kind of Pizza with olives and Bruchetta.

What would we do without cello's

Hi there, Scozen.

Thanks for coming back to this. There must be one of those gremlins in the system somewhere;-)

And as for your 'definition' of pizzicato...it's certainly way more appealing;-)

As to your question, I would certainly be minus a good few poems;-) Never did play one, though. Had a go at the violin, but it never sounded better than the cries of a half-strangled cat, so I gave it up as a bad job.
