O, Six-String!

The cadence of the strummed chords of an acoustic. The arpeggios plucked on the same strings

their unending melodies

morning bird songs

The vibrant melodies exploding off the rabid finger-tabs on an eletric’s frets. The chest-pounding distortions of staccato chords licked on the same.

piercing an afternoon

cicadas

Whatever sound, in whatever form, who dares deny the enticement of the guitar?

the silent ESP

summer stars

    Cicadas intone

    while the guitar gently weeps

    and moss propagates.

    gentle and warm is the twang of your words. Thanks, Frank.

    Call me small minded but I am a ukulele man myself – seriously your verses show how to tackle large subjects with consummate economy Frank…
