The Music Machine

Into the slot feed the scroll Speed and volume you control All heavenly all mortal tones are assorted within The staff with angels treading Light toes....fingertips at play.... Threads of sound.....pianissimo Discriminate? From butterfly to DYNAMO! Up wells the music from point to FULL CONE! Joyful or sad the roll Into the slot feed the scroll Speed and volume you control

I am in fact a musician. Conductors! -rolls eyes- Every time is always, one more time. Another amazing musical poem. "Speed and volume you control" Quite true. I can feel this poem. The 'dynamic' contrast in your writing is great.

Is this about a player piano? Must be fun to see in person. So mechanical, and of course prefer the real thing - human - but think I would still enjoy! Wonder what made you write about this? I'm just nosy. Enjoyed! Love, Shar

I liked this interesting poem a whole lot - I think I know the machine your thinking of - You did a wonderful job describing it that I could actually see the scroll turning - Great poem
