Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Violins Lift Heartstrings

  
     Violins lift heartstrings       
        soar on sentient wings

     Evoke dawn’s majesty
        hint at evening’s tragedy 

     Fiddles tease out playful tunes
        Violins arrange the heaven’s moons

sara Etgen-Baker November 7, 2025 at 7:13 AM captivating...your distinction between the two instruments is spot on...I enjoy violin music....but fiddle music is fun :-)

Robert Sidwell November 6, 2025 at 9:44 AM Ahhh, the difference between a fiddle and a violin expressed so eloquently and succinctly! I love violins! Here in Idaho we definitely have plenty of fiddle and violin music.
