my fingertips touch ... tender, but with melodic intent you tremble just SO ... and sigh sweetly the delightful answer to my questioning hands a gentle press ... your supple curves against me fitting me like dovetail your quivers ... soft-thrumming my flesh matching your moans the hushing pulse of your body urges me on ... your swan-like neck satin beneath my hot palm as it moves lower pressing ... deft digits dancing across you like a wild Spaniard we are ... one our purpose, the same oh, sing to me now let my passion be your cry let our lullabies of love and desire move souls ... and ache hearts my beloved ... guitar.

Bard, this is great misdirection knowing your signature style. Excellent love song to 'Lucille'. Music and poetry make a great marriage... I suppose it's best you didn't mention her G-string... I gladly pass over the potd mantle to a top poet... going in my faves. Blessings, brother

The "Spainiard" gave it all away Greg along with "soft-thrumming," "digits dancing, " "supple curves" among many other wonderful clues! Masterfully crafted my friend. I kept thinking this was an omage to your guitar and suddenly there it is was in your last line. Nice misdirection! Simply delightful. Congratulations on your POTD from one "picker" to another!
