This is a fun post about the thoughts of a double bass just waiting to be played! An orchestra has lost its soul without the double bass, it is integral to the deep rich sound of all music, a much enjoyed free-write, love Dolly x

Dolly thank you
Comment from lyenochka
Great job with your free verse from the point of view of the upright bass! I enjoyed listening to one recently. I wasn't sure what the B0 was as I didn't know if it went lower than the piano. But I liked your "sweet high note of heavenly tone" to describe the highest note.

Thank you -- just and fyi B0 (≈31 Hz), when five strings are used.

Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
The Bass instrument is of a certain value; one notices its absence within a group, instantly. It provides what I would call, the underbelly of a concerted rhythm. It is no surprise that some favor its sound. The presentation with its info and picture is very pleasing.

Comment from Jeffrey L. Michaux
I like how you've penned this from the point of view of the Double Bass. He definitely doesn't sound shy or an instrument that lacks confidence. I think that he's right at home out front at center stage. This is very good JLR and very creative. Thanks for sharing this well written work. Well done!

This is a great free verse from one who knows his music and bass, JLR. Your lines read well with great imagery. I read many instances of great alliteration--b, p ,t for example,internal rhyme--horsehair/care ; finger/linger for example. Your art choice is supportive of your well-chosen words. Thanks for sharing. Respectfully, Jan

Comment from Bill Schott
This free verse, Double Bass, tells a really informative story about the bass and all of its uses, related stringed instruments, and emotional connection to the artist. Nice.

I've always loved good bass music, not matter the genre. Good bass makes the song, in my opinion. I like how you let the instrument tell about himself and his cousins.

You have completely covered the bass and I fell in love with it when I heard it played by the Isaacs on stage and he made it sing. Very well done for the challenge

This is an excellent free verse poem. I never get the hang of it because my free verse poem reads more like a story. I love to hear the bass talk about his cousins.
