Piano

Porcelain keys create
         Passionate sonatas
         Pitched in dulcet notes through
         Prewritten preludes that
         Piercingly vibrate when
         Pianists softly press 
         Pedals to enhance tunes

Dear Empress, your smooth as silk pleiades flows like a lovely free verse and plays upon the poetic page like a soft tickling of the ivories. Ingenious use of the letter "P". Your vibrant imagery and artistry resonates so beautifully, sweet poetess. Congratulations for your brilliant win. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Dear Inky, your Pleiades flows very well when we recite it and I loved it. "Porcelain keys create passionate sonatas pitched in dulcet notes"... Aw... so well crafted. " prewritten preludes"..."that piercingly vibrate when pianists softly press"...very creative. Best wishes in the contest. Hugs... ~ Ani

Dear, Ink, Your poem is absolutely stunning! The way you incorporated the letter P to describe the various components of a piano is truly remarkable. It's as if your words effortlessly glide across the page, just like the music that emanates from a piano under the skillful hands of a masterful musician. Your extensive vocabulary only adds to the richness and beauty of your writing. A sure winner

Your poem is a music lover's feast my friend. I had a friend long ago that was a very keen pianist. But I heard about 22 years back he passed away in a car accident somewhere out West. Very well composed. A fav for me. God bless you my friend.

My gosh, what a stunning take for the Pleiades contest! You've absolutely nailed it and especially I'm in awe of how you've elaborated the mystical notes of the lovely Piano.. Your wordplay in 'P' is truly refreshing and is creating a very mesmerizing ambience.. "Porcelain keys" Ahh, so unique!!! "Pitched in dulcet notes through" Ah, yes I wanna feel those "prewritten preludes" Truly stunning.. "Pianists softly press pedals to enhance tunes" Wow.. Such a mellifluous write this is, A Fav :)
