Short Steinway Poems

Rearranging discordant thoughts
memories fall in place
Like keys upon a Steinway
awaiting my embrace

Sharp notes lead, the flats behind
as I replay the past
Chords when struck connecting all
—in harmonies recast

steinway seeks tuner

harmonize black and white keys

no loose strings attached


bechstein craves soft touch

align timeless surrender

blind echoes restored

Touch the woman's heart,
          it's virtuoso performance.
          Woman is violin Stradivarius,
          Steinway & Sons piano,
          sweet flute,,,
          To play well,
          must be skilled,
          careful,
          affectionate
          and offer a lot of love ...! ......

Ted brushes the dust
off the old Steinway.
Frantic fingers fly
across ancient keys
Tears fall from blind eyes
as the music plays

I've Always been attracted
to the melody of the dancing rhyme
along the black and white keys
there is a voice of international language
through the Steinway and Baldwin
through the casio and yamaha
the message comes out of my fingers
from the old and young
its a sound that touches ev'ryone
lets you laugh and cry
lets you discover how to fly....

She has a PhD in Physics
  works as a surgeon on the side
Four kids to date with one in the oven
  across a Steinway, her swift fingers glide  

But older sis calls her a ‘know-nothing’
  ‘cos the PhD thinks ‘all lives matter’
Ere she responds, younger sis pauses a minute
  then smiles ~ ‘Perhaps me, you flatter’

Lotsir B. Redlion and Vevor Gould's
Pultez Vittez Vaulter manager.
Was interviewed by " One Hot Number"
Kazu Steinway.
They used the Peavey Soundstage
With an audience. During the
Interview, the masked Lorsir
Said so ment, cantar! Targus,
Targus! And everyone laughed, 
So the interview frowned not
Knowing the joke.
Then off airmen Bushier said
The bacon in the jam better be
Turkey cause it looked raw
To him!...

MUSIC

walking one night
i heard the same dirty sax
i hated
when she walked out on me
at club sleezy


fiddling unafraid
on fifth avenue for experience
the whores    pickpockets walking by
taking a bite
of the big apple


sam
at the steinway grand
cocktail music
for love or misery
or both


one hundred
on stage at the philharmonic
the audience
rich and poor alike
fused as one by ravel

Dave Austin...
