Pure Class

Music was always my great love
throughout all my years of living
having liked many types in that time
even although I couldn't really sing

In the past decade of time
I've really loved classical so much
it's a music that reaches to the depth
to effecting the heart with slightest touch

To think I loved punk in seventies
never believed I would change to this
but classical covers such a span
of emotional moods full of bliss

My favourites cover many types
from violin, harp and cello
to clarinet, flute and guitar
some up tempo to others more mellow

It's such a treat to sit quietly
to listen to a classic piece
reading my favourite poetry
such unity entwined wish never cease

Gordon..I like Ravel and Debussy most, But I also like jazz, Latin, New Age, . Music can calm or excite me, I also miss the music of the 1940# I loved that. Poem should have been a POTD. Pangie

Pangie, Nice to know you are a fan of classical like myself, my favs would be Mozart, Vivaldi and Bach. You've honoured me that it should have been a POTD! Blessings always,Gordon

Congratulations, and excellent post, Gordon. I love the flow of the words and the impact of the message. I am very proud of you. The descriptive excellence is lovely and sends terrific images. The theme of Musical Class, stands out, and the tone moves the piece down the page with much grace. Great job! Have a fantastic day, and God's richest grace and blessings to you always. –Professor, Ambassador, Dr. Joseph S. Spence Sr. (Epulaeryu Master)!

Thanks Jennifer, Glad to meet a fellow classical fan and that you enjoyed my piece too. Maybe good to discuss our favs in classical by soup mail sometime. Take care, Gordon

Gordon, I like this poem. The title says it all. And your description of your reading room listening to music sounds like a perfect way to pass time. Nothing wrong with Talking Heads or Hüsker Dü. However, classical music reaches for a higher plateau in the human experience in my opinion. I've enjoyed the works of Debussy, Vivaldi, Handel, Mozart, Wagner, & Chopin to name a few. Note: I still enjoy The Clash & The Ramones too. -Richard

Hi Richard, Glad you liked it and your taste is so varied like me. My favs are classical along with country, folk and recently Scottish and Irish Gaelic music. I also was into punk in its heyday, Favs were Siouxie and the Banshees, Buzzcocks and Boomtown Rats. Have a great day, Gordon
