Piano

Stripped of paint and any varnish
Most likely off tune, but how would we know
Singing a song for the hundredth time
I’ll bet you’ve never heard it.
This is a poem for my old school’s piano
The place that was once Saint James
We’d stand on the stage
And sing our hearts away
ANd hit eachother with multi colored tubing
You think I don’t remember you
From back when you couldn’t play Bach
You’d be mistaken, my old friend
Even if you forgot

A warm welcome to Poetry Soup Violet. It is funny the way a person can have affection for a piano. My son in law found a grand piano laying on its side in an elementary school they were giving away free. I got movers to get it and we replaced what needed replacing and she lives again! I named her Esmeralda. I could relate to your creative and enjoyable poem. Aloha, Connie
