Constructive criticism is always welcome.  I know I don't know anything about poetry, but I feel things, so any help in construction and conveying emotion is good.  I love the piano.  If I walk into a room and there is a piano I can hardly talk or think of anything else.  It's a love affair that started when I was very young (less than 7 years old).  Tonight I was listening to some of my favorite piano music and I thought of how many keys the pianist was controlling and this is the result.  Enjoy.

88 Keys 88 keys on a ring is too many to carry to know to manage. But bring me 88 keys of ivory and black and I’m in heaven. I pick out five, or maybe six to strike, and again then seven. Oh, beauteous sounds of harmonious notes that rub together just for me. August 17, 2016
