Her Timbre
by TD Euwaite

Deep, rich tones, case wrapped in leather
And the olden luster
…of a well made latch and hinges,
With a snap, unclasped
In smooth and silent motion,

Deep, red velvet lined creases and channels
Caress your body in pieces
…the grain of red Cocobolo,
Tone holes, beautiful ivory,
Silver keys, matchless in luster,

Deep, I moisten the reed to the ligature
Awaken each pad and lever,
…Bach and the Maestro wait for us,
From below, you and I
We go down
To the E…
…and hold…

Gorgeous, but as someone forced to take music lessons and create things nowhere near as beautiful as this, I can feel a little bit of sympathy for this poem!. But, hopefully, my music is in my words and not, as so wonderfully stated, my timbre!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This poem is fantastic and beautiful!.
Depending on who you're targeting as your audience, though, I would consider revising your words!. If it's going out to teenagers, most of them won't understand half of what you wrote!. If it's going out to deep poets, then this poem is probably considered excellence!. If it's going out to normal adults, they probably won't know what parts of this means either!.
It's up to you what makes your poems good!.
Do you like it!?
Answer that and you're all set!.
Good luck!

I give it a 10/10!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Are we opening up an instrument or having a frolic! Have I been reading too much poetry that the fried brain syndrome is kicking in to send me to new conclusions!?

This is everything I love in a poem!. Rich description which puts me right behind the eyes of the seer/doer with nothing spoon-fed to me!. Those with clayed feet would depict this as 'playing a piano' I have such a long way to go!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The imagery of this piece is off the charts!. I could smell the leather and admire the shine on it's latche and hinges!. Bach and the Maestro (You) have reached a crescendo! Standing Ovation!Www@QuestionHome@Com
