The Maid's Song

[myrueme]

    Singing until the piano resounds into half-broken fingers.  Tendons like untied shoelaces grazing the gravel.  Blood blooms the pedal knuckled chords.  And wallow and she and all that was.  Pine trees with coats of snow knock against the window.  And blow and scream and hide the setting sun.  He shivers his teeth into splinters.  The moon comes

Wow, that was incredible. It's so strange, and it's about MUSIC, which is something I definitely adore writing about myself. Really gorgeous job. I also love the use of color in this. Color is such a great way to bring a piece to life, especially when the colors are vivid.

Thanks! You're always so encouraging. You've helped me write more, knowing someone is actually reading. I don't feel like I'm writing stories just for myself anymore.

Writing about music can be a challenge. You really have to rely on the sound of words. For instance "knocks a cadence like firecrackers."

Anyway, I'm glad you dug this. And thank you again.

Well, I'm glad to know I help you write more. It definitely does help to have feedback and know that people are reading and appreciating your work. I'm lucky in that way, because no matter where I post my writing, people always comment. And that keeps me writing. It's a great cycle. :)

YES. Writing about music is entirely about sound. Did you see the poem I just posted last night? I can't remember if you commented or not. But yes, I use sound constantly in my poetry because I truly believe it's one of the most important aspects of poetry. And sometimes I won't even realize something I've done soundwise until I read it later, and then I'm like, wow, I am a master of sound. LOL.

No problem. I do love encouraging people to write, especially when they write such interesting things as you do. :)

Haha, you are lucky.

I know what you mean, there's so much sound in words that I think we only use subconsciously. It just flows. And you definetly have a knack for that.

Sometimes punchlines are what it all comes down to.

Kudos because I'm a sucker for anything involving a piano.

Haha... as your avatar suggests.
