The Stringed Voice

They are many voices all around
some can be loud and others clear
distinctive with clarity and truth
one stands in awe feels so dear

The violin is an instrument supreme
it has a craft that delights one's ear
one loves to hear it's a special sound
for it delivers you to another sphere

One can't speak of this musician
for that is what it is a violin
this instrument speaks by its voice
it's sound speaks aloud truly within

Many have been gifted to play on this
before large audiences all the world over
truly skilled their performances show
a masterclass indeed one wants to kiss

My favourites in this are too many to name
but Hilary Hahn and Anne Sophie Mutter are class
being a Scot I must mention Nicols Benedetti
what wonderful music one's ears love to amass

(I have written this poem about the violin, the musical instrument, as it's one of my favourite classical instruments.)

"The Stringed Voice" is such an evocative title for a splendid poem, Gordon. Like you, I just love the violin, it is amongst my favorite instruments too, along with the cello and the piano... but I think the violin comes out on top! :) I enjoyed your beautiful poem honoring this unique and soulful voice. Warmest wishes, my friend.. ~Susan

Glad you loved this so much Susan, like you I love it too though I think the harp would top my list that's because I find it therapeutic in calming my nerves to help my stammer. I love the cello and the piano too, we must share our favourite players and composers sometime. Have a blessed day, Gordon
