String-Movements

When evening’s bass tone whips a refrain Strummed by an old man in our country yard; A most haunting string--movement dims the air Reminiscent of my young, bygone days. His fiddle plucks through my hidden places Where the touch wails speak through acoustic waves Dragging notes from torn memories’ past While first love grates … as I think of blackbirds. Brian's Choice 7 for Brian Strand

"His fiddle plucks through my hidden places" Gee, what a gorgeous line, Nette - one of many great ones throughout this verse. It's always a pleasure reading your work. You know how to put together some lovely thoughts and paint a vivid picture. I also love the last line... I like a good bass tone, --it literally sets the tone for the piece; a great starting line. A fav! Always, Laura

Music has charms as you show in this fine ode. My late father was a composer and set a number of my poems to music. My nephew is a rock and roll musician and set one of my poems with a rock and roll background as he reads it. Peace & Love Matthew Anish

Off the wall yet right on and surely enjoyable. Fiddles aren't my favorite, but I've enjoyed many hoedowns. This should stand out in a good way, Nette. Love ... CayCay
