Peeling the Violin

PEELING THE VIOLIN
.  .  .  .  ~  ~ ~ .  .  .  .


~ swerving along its waxed wood 
rapturous strains sweep alto mood 
bow’s strings peeling my plight…  
in the unmentionable softness of moonlight. 

holding its hips to warm the cure
scales of moans vibrating satin pure 
a glide to and fro connects pitches right…
in the sweet tender softness of moonlight. 

and my world of solace will sustain 
tunes whispering gladness and pain 
the voice of God enters my fiddling night…
in the unmentionable softness of moonlight. ~

Belated congrats on this one. I promise to see a newer poem of yours later tonight. LUv, Andrea ps. I cannot believe Chris's contest flew right past me!!

This is wonderful, Nette. I bet it places high. I think you do really well when you focus on one beautiful line and repeat it like this. It gives your poetry such an easy relaxed flow!

Wow! Nette. I have to read this verses twice to feel it. How nice to connect the peeling violin to your inner voice. Thank you for sharing and goodluck always! May your creative thoughts always flow like an unrestricted river. Love Dalila
