Piano Poetry

by Maple Tree   Jan 11, 2015


I graced piano keys at age seven,
faltering to insecurity,
my talent faded away
from dancing fingertips.

These hands ached to
create a melody so divine
that the world would hear
my words, feel the soul
within.

I picked up a pen upon
the budding age of thirteen.

Hiding behind ink,
ivory keys swayed with
cursive stanzas,
becoming
and reliving my grand
recital.

Poetry is the music
behind the girl who played
piano,
the song will never end....

    I love this piece, it's a wonderful way to tell the world just a little bit more about you without making yourself too vulnerable. Great piece, wonderfully penned.

    This reminds me of my Maddycakes.

    Oh Andrea aunty, you have both the talents which I want - playing the piano and writing.
    You know aunty whenever someone tells me they play piano, I go " really... I love you now "(with the cutest and awestruck face)... And I'm doing that right now :-P

    I love you even more now aunty :-P

    Ah ahh ahh! About having a heartache over here lol.

    I didn't know you played the piano? Very neat and I'm glad poetry found you and you found it. That love will never go away and it is like music in a way. Beautiful ending lines... what's inspiring to me is that even if we have hobbies from the past that we don't do as often or have changed interest in, there is always a passion I feel we find. And that may become one of our reasons to live.

    Love this piece and you :)

    (And we really should plan a PnQ reunion. We could plan a poetry jam then a dance-off haha. Larry you and I against each other. I'm serious!)
