His moods Change fast But they Don’t last That long; From low To high A song Or sigh That comes With deep Sad flow A touch Warm glow So soft Which speaks Of love. Then peaks To sharp... He thumps The key Stale, flat, Heart stark Weak beat... Pitch dark. ---------------- (25 lines, 2 one-syllable words per line) #1. piano keys Contest: United colours ~ Black and White Sponsor: Silent One Placed 2nd

I recognize the tune - Rachmaninoff, aint it? I hope this virtuoso opus wins, Paul. Love, daver

Paul Callus
Date: 3/12/2016 3:43:00 AM

Yes, Dave, it could quite easily have been Rachmaninoff; the poor reception of his first symphony and other negative things effected his life and composing, but he overcame all this by becoming a greater man. To me he is one of the best pianists of all time. Thank you for a pleasant visit. ~ Regards // paul

Ooops! Reading down, I see you have won. More love, daver

Most creative, Paul. I enjoyed your unique take on the contest, while still keeping with the piano terminology... the musician must have the right set of mind, or the else the music falls flat.

Paul Callus

Moods play a big part in music, whether one is composing or playing an instrument. They can take one to great heights, others can be unproductive and frustrating. ~ Regards // paul
