Best Cello Poems

your melody sang in me 
the mystic timing arose
 
night time air sending chills 
beneath me the nightingales
 
danced a mild manner ballot 
as the cranes bowed their heads
 
moving me despite the quiet rain
the daunting task the calming pain

The Aging Cello

This aging Cello’s beauty starts to fade,
and once taut strings now sadly stretched and frayed,
but still her luscious curves remaining staid,
yet silent are the mournful notes she played.

The rigid Bow that once caressed her strings, 
and brought soft sighs that lifted up on...

Nature's divided into four seasons 
each eye-catching in a similar way
and yet, different for many reasons.

Winter's crystalline beauty carries sway
but She is both barren and deathly cold
with a hollowed-out heart of papier-mache.

Spring’s spectacle slowly breaks Winter’s hold
accompanied by a moist April breeze
She showers snowdrops as...

Someone’s wearing horns.
“I keep turning ideas ‘round and ‘round,” these are your words not mine.
Let’s dance, El Toro.
Jagged footwork, chaotic turn of events, graceful flip-flopping of antics; the trick is to hold your stance so he can’t plow through you. Close your eyes so you...

The cat with her cello sat on the street
To meet and greet folk with music so sweet
It was no surprise 
She brought tears to eyes
With her ‘Elgar's Cello Concerto’ treat....

A Cello Plays

I’m sad tonight because I sit alone in my chair
The sound of a cello plays softly in the background
The music is sad like me, as it plays alone, filling the air
I wonder if it feels the pain of the hands that play it
Does...

A lone rose thrown on the beach
lies lonely and forsaken

out at the end of the pier behind rusty old trash cans 
a beat down broken cello cries

the rose takes notice and emits a single high pitched note
directed at the anguished cello in distress

the rose resembles...

Cello Seduction

A brief glance toward the audience,
She closes her eyes and begins to play.
The maestro sat astride her Cello,
Sonata in C Major carries me away.

Ordinarily I don’t listen to classics,
But the sound of a Cello enchants.
So, as I listen to my virtuoso lady,
Her music seduces...

Her soft expressions forever changing,
As the leaves of autumn do.
A sweet voice forever crooning,
Under a favorable moon.
Smooth, polished, delicate to my taste,
Her soul confident of the notes that shall be found.
Enjoy her splendor this nightly morn,
For when dawn arrives,
This sainted music may have gone....

The cello is between her legs,
skirt hiked up
legs ungracefully spread.
sexually inviting.
The cello drums her 
Thrums her darkness
Into blind angels
The cellos voice is her voice
Her body sings through it
Or is the cello making love to her, 
making her body sing
into its hollow mouth?
I am mesmerized by...

A cello played
 somewhere in the background,
 some somber, durable tones and color,
 invoking prayer, calm, contemplation, remembrance;
a string effigy
 solemn, melancholic dreams
 calling to mind
 the search for more than what is seen;
a play on notes
 of time and memory
 of hope and promises

Skirt hiked up
legs ungracefully spread
inviting. 
Between those limbs, chords darken
where pale angels go blind.

A deep ewer of sound
pours from palpating fingers.
While her other hand
strokes the pulse of a
sonorant beast
carved from lava.

Her body croons
wrists cuffed to the music,
closed eyes
bathe naked in dark pools.

A depth climbs to...

Tall red and pink-tipped spears reach for the nothing-at-all blue sky, all washed out with sunshine. The tight wrapped buds of the hollyhocks are too high for us to reach, but Imogen can. You and I wait for her to bring them down. Here behind...
