I hear a haunting melody drifting in the wind as though a Stradivarius had been chinned Gently, it dried the tears of willows weeping slowly drifted past my window as I lay sleeping It tickled my ears as I slumbered in a dream then touched the glow of a golden moonbeam

I loved your elegant and original work. I could visualize the setting and grace of the Stradivarius being played. The strange now set for your vivid poetic lines that play on my emotions as beautifully as a master plays that Stradivarius! You take me from natural to mystical and you leave me to dream there. The words are complete but the “feels” continue. Not wanting to wake from this dreamy state! You’re a Master Post, Lin!

Having read you earlier today, LM, I am very impressed with your skill for writing romance... yearned for and achieved. It makes your comments to me very valuable knowing you felt what my words tried to convey. Thank you, sincerely.

Lin, sounds like a really good thought to hold on to. This tickles the imagination. I have to stop and think about notes flying through the air and if I can see them.

Oh my, this is such a beguiling and poetically enriched piece, dear Lin! I absolutely love the enchanting flow of words you've created here with such beautiful fluidity! Love the tone of phraseology here and those delicate descriptions of being drifted with the waltz of wind "it dried the tears of willows weeping", "then touched the glow of a golden moonbeam " Absolutely stunning and deeply evocative, hued with many soul-stirring emotions! Your words have such a poignant touch! Love this. Pleasure reading your work today, sending best wishes for the contest ~

Hiya, it's so nice to see you back in the soup. Thank you for so many kind comments on these lines. I was listening to an instrumental and my thoughts seemed to drift like my description of the wind, but I wanted it to touch things, including me as a tangible element to the poem. Thank you ever so much for reading me. Hugs and thanks for your well wishes.

Inspired second line there Lin :) music can be significant as a soundtrack, both haunting and healing. Excellent poem for the contest, best of luck x

Heya Dilly. Thought I'd address you that way ala David until he returns ;-) Thanks, and you're right about music. It does much more than soothe the savage beast. hmmm we should give that more thought.
