Music Heard

Upon perception, a rolling wooden box with three pedals a misconception Slick ivory keys the color of milk with black onyx halves in between, if you please. Eighty-eight beautiful notes made of perfection, fifty-two white and thirty-six black Middle “C” is the place to start, move your fingers up eight white beauties and you have made art Sharps, flats, quarter notes, half notes, it is time to “rest.” Loud, soft, strong, with feeling, sit up straight and give the bench some respect Treble clef, bass clef written by all the best Mozart, Bach, Chopin, DeBussy know these keys Glorious musical emotions to be heard It takes you to places you have never seen All shapes and sizes, don’t you want one of me? ©Holly P.
