Lucille

Love sublime
under a rhymed
connection made with her
incredibly brillant caresser,
Lucille is played
like the lover she is,
ever and always B.B.


~~~~~~~~~~~~ for Raul Moreno's "B.B. King" contest


For those unfamilar with the music of B.B. King, Lucille is the name of his guitar.

I am familiar and I just had to read this one. I just had a feeling. The thrill is here...in this. It's solid as the mahogany neck he is strumming. Best wishes to you and thank you for your kind words. regards, Gerard.
