Notes About The Poem

Leading Violin

LEADING VIOLIN

The maiden's euphoric fugue
The arrogant stretched notes of the violin plague

Lightening and softening rough edges mark
Blues and browns duet with the sways 
of thick auburn hair and round voluptuous behind. . . 

What message she wants to rain?
What joy she wants to fire?
Or is it wrath she wants to spill?
Her libretto casts a paint of dullness around
yet, it resurrects her curves to swing...
Bareback moans a prudent chaste appeal

Vibrato runs along the brush of Sotskova

Paul Callus January 17, 2015 at 8:45 AM Hi Olive_eloi! I love the movement that you manage to produce with ease of descriptive words and lovely imagery. You even manage to give it a sensual touch. The ending line is perfect. hugs // paul Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser January 18, 2015 at 4:25 AM Thanks much PAul.. :)! i like to produce movements in the words as you can see the the marks down the maiden's skirt... so i want to interpret that what she is playing i a moving piece.. another I saw is the somewhat the shadow of the man behind sitting and somehow his face on his hands... Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser January 18, 2015 at 4:24 AM I gave it a sensual touch because of the woman's bareback plus the fact the violin is one of the musical instruments that when played wholeheartedly it is so sensual and wow... :)!

Emile Pinet January 16, 2015 at 9:18 AM An outpouring of emotions that surges up from the heart and splashes against the page, full of adjectives and superlatives that twist and stretch the imagination in often different directions at once. The words are strung together like a pearl necklace. Well done. Emile. #7 Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser January 17, 2015 at 4:49 PM thankd much Emile.. :)I appreciate your generous comments.. :)
