A Little Dusty

by Melissa   Dec 9, 2008


Lately...

I feel like my guitar
a little unswept,
immensely neglected,
and possibly
a slight bit hushed

I've got this notion
better start sprucing
or else
I'll wind up dust,
but my strum says,
Missy, you're too awkward
with the strings

Oh melody
how will I sing
if love won't move
in me

    Beautiful beautiful - oh, and beautiful. And so sad. Another excellent example of why you're one of my favorites on the board (if not THE favorite) :-)

    I like the reference between a guitar and yourself. I really like the start of the poem and the end especially. It has a melancholy as well as a sympathetic feel to it. Loved the read..take care.
