What is the poem, The Guitar, by Federico Garcia Lorca about?

Question:He is moved by the sound the guitar makes. Obviously, whoever is playing while he listens is not doing any Chuck Berry numbers. Seriously though, the style of Spanish guitar can make some people feel the way he paints his picture in the poem.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: He is moved by the sound the guitar makes. Obviously, whoever is playing while he listens is not doing any Chuck Berry numbers. Seriously though, the style of Spanish guitar can make some people feel the way he paints his picture in the poem.

The poem which reads:

The weeping of the guitar
begins.
The goblets of dawn
are smashed.
The weeping of the guitar
begins.
Useless
to silence it.
Impossible
to silence it.
It weeps monotonously
as water weeps
as the wind weeps
over snowfields.
Impossible
to silence it.
It weeps for distant
things.
Hot southern sands
yearning for white camellias.
Weeps arrow without target
evening without morning
and the first dead bird
on the branch.
Oh, guitar!
Heart mortally wounded
by five swords.

It has to do mostly with the "Duende" a difficult word to define in English, but most closely comes across as: "something vaguely pagan and even demonic about Duende. Duende is a spirit of art, much the opposite of the Muse"

If this is the poem you mean and not Riddle of the Guitar, you should find some answers here.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it is about a guitar.
