Notes About The Poem

Violin POTW

The glamorous, tuxedo look
of the hollow wooden body
tuned perfectly with its four
strings manages to embody
a heavenly favor of sad energy
as a bow is drawn across its strings.
Its notes waltz upon my soul
and awaken and pull against
my attuned heartstring imagery.
Its soothing chords being played
captivate, while joyful warm tears
swell and slowly flow.
Priceless, merry thoughts of my children
growing up long ago, playing ball
in the summers or on a wooden
sled in the snow.
The absence of my husband I dearly miss.
Coming home exhausted from work,
I'd wrap my arms around him,
then lean back and smile
at the love we had for each other.
The sad sounds the violinist awoke
from the violin as they played;
memories never to be forgotten.

' a heavenly favor of sad energy, as a bow is drawn across its strings. ' I have chills right now. Realizing a violin's tune can be beautiful, yet sad, all at the same time. Your thoughts caress gently around me and my heart. Congratulations Eve, on Poem of the Week. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

Dear Eve, A wonderful and melancholy poem which draws life and sadness. What better instrument then the violin to trigger such emotions. All three of my grown daughters have been playing the violin since they were small children. Keep writing wonderful poems! - Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

A violin can evoke sad memories in us ! It can create waves of joy and pain in turn. I can feel how deeply you miss your husband. But you can be comforted as he has left behind a lot of sweet memories which are roused through a violin's symphony. Beautiful poem, dear Eve.
