Premium Member Melodies of My Harmonica
Next year I’ll learn to play the harmonica. Hoping to produce such a mellifluous strain, In my sturdy hands, I’ll practice every day, It would not be easy, but worth the pain. A harmonica emits a life by itself, Of journeys and skies so blue. Of stories describing great deeds, That echo all around like birds that flew. And in the...

he's a sweet harmonica home Joe soft steel raven, bending blues dripping honey from her spoon nothing quite says melancholy like a harp in cupping wah-wah glow for endless grooves, a winding show playing Take Me Home Country Road and Lennon's riff in Love Me Do with gracious silk, a satin throw a trip to the moon in a single note around the cosmos, her...

Premium Member My Harmonica Cries
My harmonica cries, in tones of silver sighs and golden tears; wailing bittersweet joy. Sound of sadness; sound of laughter; it’s in the wailing that color blooms. Mouth-harp memories fill many family albums. Circle of breath, circle of life; winding in and out; among the reeds. As we all wind down life’s road. Diatonic monotones blending...

Premium Member Southern Joy
Metronome heart beats in 4/4 time while mandolin chimes in staccato voice. In the background, guitar hums and banjo sings. Bluegrass echoes across southern winds; blues and mountain music force a dance from tranquil feet; it’s a concert fit for country royalty, at the Opry. The East coast clogs and smiles. On the...

My Harmonica
I take great delight in melodies and song, my harmonica is always with me now. I play a happy tune and my heart sings long, then for the people who clap I make a bow. To play for other's pleasure is never wrong, for accomplishing this I have made a vow. Their smiles and laughs give me pay enough to last, our...

with a crescent palm held against his lips, he sends a silver psalm into the wind- the timbre, so frail sails through a crimson sky then falls into the valley a valley so low--- "hear the wind whisper, hear the wind blow... down through the valley, where it must go".... upward it goes on a smooth silver thread till the thin-quaver ends where the red...

Someone Else's Harmonica
We can’t catch the breezes inside, so we take to the porches, verandas, fire escapes. Watch an asbestos moon rise over steaming rooftops, and count flags from far away cities. Below, beetles swallow our Elm trees whole, as I listen to the neighbors bickering and someone else’s harmonica....

Harmonica Man
He plays his harmonica on the street. Playing for money for something to eat. So much love goes in his tunes He plays from morning to late afternoon. Night falls he has no where to sleep His stomach is growling he had nothing to eat. The night is cold he needs rest Using cardboard boxes to make a nest. He says his prayers...
