Wow, that list sure is growing! Yup, your notes are right on too - it's amazing to see the variety of interpretations. I just read Dejohnsrld's and highly recommend it - it is fabulous! But take heed, ye of soft heart - it reaches deeply and is so sad!

As for this one, I think we have that romantic soul so much in common! I just loved it, my friend!

Thanks for sharing this part of you, Missy. I read your other entry to the contest Jax started, and I must say I like this one much better. The other is too predictable, but this is mellow and simple and direct. I heard a little echo of "Strumming me softly with your softly with your song, but not intrusively. You did a good job with this, Missy

I love the way you use the piano as a jumping off point :-)

A symbol for the metaphorical music he wrote, that set your heart dancing :-)

Nicely done Missy :-)

    Thank you, I think they call what I do ...Ekphrastic poetry. It is poetry based on feelings inspired by a work of art. (or something like that :))
    I am delighted that you enjoyed it.

I just realized that you wrote 2 poems for the picture:) I think I like this one a bit better but they are each unique. I hope all is well with you.

Hi mate, loved the poem. Had already read Jax Franklin's contribution to the Picture This group. I love this dear old piano picture. Having been a pianist and organist since very young. Sadly no more due to hearing problems. Happy New Year.

Tickling the keys to my fancy, oh, no, I must have read that wrong. Tickling my little fanny is the key, oh, no, so sorry. I know that wasn't it and I apologize for the slip. But thanks for another fine poem that I'm sure you can tell has my mind working. Great job. :-)

As you say in your bio, your heart is evident in your writing. It certainly is in this piece - a nice take on the picture (and again, thanks for a wonderful choice of picture!) - to use music as a metaphor for romantic love - I like the way each of the three stanzas tapers down to a single, poignant word. Fantastic!

I enjoyed your challenge poem. I like the comparison you made of the one you love and the 'music of life.' Your words flow well. Good job and thanks for sharing.

Very sweet, simple (in the best way) and romantic words, Missy, IF were spoken about a special person.

I'm not sure it would be clear this would be the piano speaking, if not for the artwork, but that's irrelevant, as the challenge here IS to write about the artwork, and you personify the piano's gratitude and happiness very well. ;-)

Nice one.

Best wishes, Ray xx

    Hi, Ray, thanks for the sweet review. I have given up finding someone with enough fire to match mine...lol. So, I just write from longing. Seems to work, most of the time. :)

Very nice. Placing love in comparison to "New music written on our hearts" is excellent. Both bring so much pleasure. Have a blessed week. God bless.
