A Most Talented Fellow

He played the cello with such finesse Clutching his instrument tight to his chest As if he was channelling his very own heartbeat In every stroke ~ in every note Investing so much with each lift of his bow His flamboyant gestures mesmerised me so An artiste creating a masterpiece Tantalising Teasing Tempting Tormenting For he was ~ he became that cello For he was ~ a most talented fellow Any inhibitions gone his soul immersed in every song On reaching the finale this man was truly spent his outstanding performance was surely heaven sent… Written 8th October 2019 3rd PLACE Contest STRAND SPECIAL 8 Sponsor Brian Strand I wrote this after attending a most wonderfully uplifting performance by the World renowned Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, who performed at the Royal Albert Hall, London. This poem was inspired by their principal cello player, who put his heart and soul into every note he played!
