Matthew Anish Poet Verse

Piano Dreams

Went to an adult ed course 
    Older people trying hard 
to play the piano 
   I was told I was too advanced
with my ability to play "Penny Lane" 
   with one hand
   Well, I had to go home 
Where I could flip on a 
   C.D. 
  or listen to my father play 
     fantastic Gerswhin, Debussy or Beethoven 
   I wish the adults 
 students success 
     Music can grip 
the heart, give lovers a high 
     and stop feeling you didn't know you had 
       some you want, some you'd be better without 
Peace
Namarie 
Shalom
Bonjour 
Ni Hao Ma
Yasu
and also the other greetings I don't know

Elizabeth Wesley September 21, 2011 at 9:03 PM I think music and poetry are best friends. It certainly grips me - classical I might say.

Andrea Dietrich May 24, 2011 at 7:50 PM You are very talented. Hey I can play peter peter pumpkin eater with just a few fingers. heeheehee. I'm so bad at piano! By the way, you actually would put snow on top ten?? I would put it on top ten annoyances in my life when I am driving. Always nice seeing you here, Matt. Luv, Andrea

Caroline Cécile Delacroix May 6, 2011 at 6:06 PM It is a wonderful thing to have music around and even better to be able to play it. I play piano too and teach kids. And to me, singing is even better. I do like your hellos and peace wishes in different languages. Peace in French is "la paix". In Hindu, it is namaste I believe. In Arabic, it is Salam. Peace to you too. Caroline (speaks French, having been born and grown up in Belgium. :)
