Short Pizzicato Poems

Pirouetting leaves,
Wafting to the water's edge:
Pizzicato breeze....

Intermittent pizzicato music
Comforting and soothing sound   
Soft slumber coming soon...

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

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 –...

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...

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......

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....

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
