Pizzicato Poems | Examples

Kess-kess

Sine Wave replicated the Hand whistle, a drum and
bass and tremble  guitar fused with a funky mix of 
 in opposition tothe fella's camped further in the distance.
There a banjo and fiddle were played while a crooner
 serenaded the dust clouds kicked up the drunken
cowpokes. 
While the Elders sleep or were to drunk to refuse them
wise mid twentyish people grabbed instruments and
went into the barn and began to
fuse there style
with sounds that were never heard before. A member
 of the orchestra used his influence to
convince these busy hard working people
to make time to get together
and create music. The way music needs to be appreciated.


Night hides the meanest of day
but moring tell the true story
if she'll go
or if she'll stay
Regional flavors
Capsicum Annuun
Hot Peppers and Milk
Pizzicato wash your hands
begore you pull
them strang's
Headdresses and Cowboy hats
Hazing a Tenderfoot

Where’s my loyal confidant,
If love recovers again?
This emptiness of heart,
Fulfills to be a single friend;

The jargon on my noggin,
What’s her color, favorite?
Pop in, lightly salted;
I am satisfied with –

Premium MemberImagination Waits

Plain brick walls
Wait for clinking cans of spray paint
To color in streetwise notions
Beyond the naked eye

Quiet strings of violins
Wait for hands to draw across bows
Or play pizzicato melodies
Beyond the well-trained ear

Blank pages
Wait for clever pens
To write stories and verses
Beyond the bare mind

Sparks of star light
Wait for a ready lifeforce
To ignite a hellmouth fire 
Beyond the ordinary self

Premium MemberHarpist Angel

As if she stretched
both sides of her smile
in pizzicato,
then lets go...
Each note ascends,
circles her head
like a halo.
Cascading strings
send shivers through clouds.
‘Nine’ giggles —
the proverbial 
cumulus-
   humulus.
The harpist angel
weaves her fingers
in ancient frolic.
The instrument,
rocks like a baby
in her mother’s arms,
with wings upright.
Tight like friends,
bound to serve,
their souls are one.
The shalom of
  solitude
and harmony,
sympathetic
   vibrations,
and God’s love.

Call it what you will, my friend, 
This glowing exhilaration inside my heart 
Plucking the pizzicato strings of myself 
Exploding, making me feel, oh so, insatiably happy 
To be alive! ...  
          That I am free, 
          That I am growing, 
          That I am creating, 
          That I am in love with life itself … 
Call it what you will, my friend, 
But I shall call it joy!

Leaves On the Ground

November in a teacup
Looking up at your face
Our set of changes 
Our own autumn 
Pizzicato motion feels
Pleasure inside my sound
When Love lies above me 
Leaves on the ground

Egg Song

Matilda the peregrine Chanticleer
                                 Has taken up residence
                                 Along the 18th Fairway
                                 Chicken-walking  pizzicato- pecking
                                  Rearranging the leaf pile
                                  Clawing with sharpened talons
                                   Making herself at home
                                   Laying her eggs randomly 
                                   Amongst golfers’ errant balls
                                  Indistinguishable  from a distance
                                   Her plaintive egg song
                                   Like the golfers’ call
                                   Lost in the Wind

On Tour

On Tour


To dive into the world of the great barrier reef would be enough
assimilating into the tranquil environment somewhere in the Capricorn
looking below while leaping merrily from a bluff
Like a babe in earth's womb, I am reborn.

Like a dart thrown on a map, may it land in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco 
Among the snow-capped peaks, I'd breathe the air of eagles, frozen in awe
Wind whistling with legato, birds beneath quietly chirping their song in pizzicato
I would like nothing more than to remain here in this place, a place to withdraw.

Before I bounced from this terrestrial ball I'd have to party in Spain
One last hurrah flying first class to Ibiza 
One last adrenaline rush, amped with red bull, taunting bulls with eyes bloodstained
One last expression from this American, perhaps a spending spree with a visa.

When the night has come and I should travel no more
Take me back home and bury me in earth's floor

The Guitarist

He played on the guitar like a pizzicato
Who frequented one too many bars
Always demonstrating 
A wonderful amount of restraint
Even during the main feature
At the local drive in

In the end
He came to realize
How much he loved pizza
And at the end of the day
Even if he couldn’t play
He could always eat it

Premium MemberEtude of the Rain


Oh those pizzicato drops
Play a frantic melody
Tour the scale from high to low
Bravo! from the sleepy heads below


The maestro empties out the clouds
And then so quickly steals away
But he'll be back to play again
So lovely to have my roof of tin.....



An etude is a  musical piece, usually very difficult, that is especially written
to help develop musical techniques...

Everyday Noise

White noise echoes equally from wall to painted mural,
dancing like a whimsy wisp of width;
where waters drip and notes all slip,
sound patrols the minute holes that cause acoustic depression;
pizzicato strikes like bikes on blacktop every day,
leaving skids for little kids, loud scats scoop brats away,
with solos soaring boringly and duets dazzling dew,
it’s hard to not hear voices, different choices scream at you.

Still Searching

Music in the distance lets us know there is always hope

Thinking of a new dawn we slip into a sweet reverie

A darkening sky signals rainfall

Yet though a storm is brewing, we continue with our quest

It will take us deep into the heart of the hills

Where is the pale king?

We await his return and search for him

Even as pizzicato tones are heard, we look for the ruler of all things

Our hearts and souls are ready for the sacrifices we must make

The path is a difficult one

But we are certain we will find what we are looking for

When we do wine will flow and music will resound in the hills

Golden flowers will grow where there was only a rock strewn path

As the rain begins we come closer 

Become closer to finding the one who will ease our pain

Get closer to the pale king

Who is waiting for our arrival 

On the other side of eternity
