Fret-Based Poetry

He caresses her neck romantically, By slowly strumming her hair. Moments after tickling her, And promising to buy her, her lair. A true-carrying case I mean, Way more than just a stand. She winks at him daily and Ibanez, is his trusty brand. With a great pedal board, They create a rhymatic loop. And for now he plays solo, But would rather be in a group. He and her are forever in love, She’ll always be his beloved Lucy. For the sounds that they create, Make the airwaves feel juicy. With a built in handle to grab, He holds her close to thee. And together the love they make, Is considered fret-based poetry. __________________________ Dedicated to my friend Conor Jordan and his guitar Lucy.

Both my husband and son play guitar (my son plays all three electric, base and acoustic) so I truly appreciate this awesome dedication. Yes, there is definitely a love relationship between man (or woman) and their guitar. Rock on Conor! Excellent dedication Raul. Love, Shar

Love the title and contents here. I have a Fender Strat so I can totally recognize the feelings in this and the passion that flows through the artists mind and fingers. Very well written. Michael
