Piano

Such complex beauty in the air,
shimmering in the form of sound.
Imagery limited only by imagination,
emotions limited only by feeling.

Sounds of happiness and love,
as well as despair and sadness.
It can calm your soul,
and take away your anger.


There it sits,

filling the room with sound.

Its beauty paralled only by what it plays,

an unmatched creation.


Uplifting notes and rising tones,
they set your spirit free.
Embrace it and absorb it,
let if flow through you like a river.

Author notes

This just came to me when I was listening to come classical piano pieces, I felt I had to write something about the piano.
Originally the third and fourth stanza were reversed but I kept conflicting within myself which of the two should go last, and this is where it ended up.

    "Imagery limited only by imagination,
    emotions limited only by feeling."

    That is the up most truth when it comes to the piano.
    I admire how you put that together, I feel it's hard to write about the piano for me because it takes me so many places. And those two short lines explained exactly why in a sense.

    I would have to say my favorite piano piece is by Haydn. Do you play yourself?

    Overall, wonderful job.

    EXOTIC!

    This is a very unusual, alternative piece which is one of the multiple reasons why I like this poem so much! It is easily understood with medium-toned words and marvelous, but simple imagery. I have nothing to really critique you on. Oh and either way with those last two stanzas would've been fine. Very very good poem!

    I love the calm mellowness in this poem, especially in the very first stanza. That was a great way to start your poem off!

    I wasn't AS happy with the ending as the beginning, but it was still very good and kept in context with the rest of the poem! ^-^

    GREAT job
    diggin it majorly

    This is great! I love the gentleness and the words flow like music. Bravo!

    I noticed a typo. In the second stanza it should be 'your' not 'you're'.
