The Jews Harp

if aromatic, can your sound
adrift on wings like strings to sing
by tongue and some from lighted tops
of cloud aloud let fly, let fly
o solitary eagle soaring high
these aromatic overtones
of demon groans to bees abuzz
on petal roams and onto tombs
of night in flight to morning’s dew
harmonic rhythms meditate 
the late, the new, the cycle through
sweet realm of realms, mine avenue
and though her breath is my breath too
the key, like she, can bloom

What an excellent write! I love the wordplay and flow of this as well as the cadence of this poem! I especially loved “ the late, the new, the cycle through sweet realm of realms,” that line really stood out for me. And made me wonder what is a jews harp! The last line is soul touching! Pleasure reading this one dear clive

I absoloutely love this odd quirky little musical instrument, it is so simple yet so complex, an enigma indeed, thanks for your great comment IE

A most under rated instrument, my favourite indeed, thanks for reading, Joseph
