Piano Fingers

They're everywhere.

The piano and its chair

Someone arrives and sits there.

Looks around

No sound

 

Hopes he's not found.

 

With little more ease

The fingers brush the keys

But he's still scared

He no longer dared

 

But to play, he still cared.

 

Finally after one last glance

atop the stage he took his chance

Very, very quiet

Hushed as an owlet

 

Played a sonnet.

 

The fingers felt more free

 Willing to play crisply

Each note more defined

Each finger more inclined

 

Fingers and keys entwined.

 

Fingers play mystery,

Fingers play history,

Fingers play hate,

play love and fate,

 

These piano fingers create.

 

Author's Note

Well, I admit that I have been on a bit of writer's block, and I produced this trying to get out of it. o3o I might be a bit rusty, and I honestly don't know what anyone's going to think considering I haven't written in a while. XD But I wrote this in remembrance of my piano exam on sunday, and what people are capable of playing on it. :D So um, review please? :3

The picture lead me to this one. Very on key! This does sound so much like the feeling of writer's block, it seems your character had no sheet music to go by, and so he created a sonnet. It's just like creating poetry on a blank screen, one you get rolling... wow... the fingers fly! Very nicely done. Thanks.

I absolutely love this!!!!! The wording and flow is fantastic, and the images portrayed are both simple and stunning at the same time. The piano has been a part of me ever since I was 4, and you were able to capture the sensation of playing with an amazing style.
This is not rusty at all!!! I hope to see many more things from you soon!!!! :D

As a lover of the piano I'm very biased towards this poem. It's very hard not to give it a high rating. It seemed like a fun write. Smooth and "clean." Your choice of language was fantastic.

It's nice to see you writing again! I hope to see many more pieces.
