My Flute

My favorite instrument: the Flute


My first and only instrument I received as a little girl was
a Flute.
My godfather had gotten me a Flute after he and my mom had broken up. I don’t recall what happened to my Flute.

A few years later I had a music class my Freshman year in high school and we all got black plastic Flutes we were supposed to learn how to play in music class.

As an adult and a lover of good music I wish I had learned to play the Flute. I’d play in music videos on BET and on the sidewalks of city streets collecting money to pay my bills.

The life of a musician is fun and interesting. You love to travel, play your instrument and collaborate with other artists but never have much money! LOL

Mark J. Halliday September 17, 2014 at 9:43 AM Played the silver kind of flute in marching bands as a kid, then later old fashioned military fifes. Had some bamboo flutes I used to love to play in stairwells because of the echoes. Alas, my two bamboo flutes broke too easily. Ayesha Karim September 18, 2014 at 12:22 AM Yeah right now I have a bamboo flute. I don't like the silver flutes. I am getting flute lessons at a place called Farrington's music. Thanks for the comment on my poem.
