Spanish Guitar

Category: My Poetry

Dusk slips into the room

                the guitarist gently

                plucks the strings

 

Silver light fills spaces

                between breath and silence

                with soft notes

 

Until all disappears

                except player, guitar

                and the music

    Very pure. I love the simplicity. Its gentle but clear, these images you’ve made.

    Thanks for taking part in the PWB’s World Poetry Carnival.

    And that is what happens when a true artist is in that “zone;” everything else goes quiet and is gone. What remains is the creative beauty.

    oh this makes me want to just close my eyes and be carried away… beautiful… just beautiful…..

    Simplicity at its best. Love the subtle, quiet tones you portray in this poem. Nice job. Have a nice day.

    Lovely, particularly the last verse!

    This is lovely. I often find when I play guitar, that I too, disappear.

    I really like this one. I know how easily it is to lose yourself in the music. I play guitar.

    I love the feeling of losing yourself in the music. Each word feels like a note being plucked.

    ohh, the softness of this piece, the way she is written
    lets me hear the guitar.
