Cello

I'm so into persona poems right now...

Wood
Against my chest
Strings
Line my fingertips
A bow
Gripped
Tightly
I run it
Smoothly
Across
Crisp
Silver
Strings
As new,
Fresh
Notes
Spill through nicely
Arranged, a colorful tied
Bouquet of emotion spills out
Flooding the room, echoing through
The entire house; my hands dancing across
The neck of a blessed creature, singing
Never has a human been able
To create such beauty
Without a thing such
As this beautiful beast
Music and sounds ebb from it's
Core, rumbling the earth's surface with
Nothing but it's music; nothing but it's song
To flow and twirl through human ears
Craving, oh how craving but to
Play the perfect melody;
Satisfied with
Itself

I love the cello. Another beautiful peom to see and engage with the beauty of its words too. Well done Black Rose. It's a very lovely poem to experience.

It seems your forte is concrete poetry well done

[PaperHearts]

Oh my gosh! This was awesome! I loved it! :D
Usually I find that when people try and write poems like this, the shape that they attempt to create takes away from the poem, however, in this case, you executed it perfectly, which definitely enhanced the concept of your piece. Great write!

I love to hear and watch a person who can play a violin. The music is special and create a strange peace. Poem is beautiful. The description create a beautiful vision. A outstanding poem.
