Your literary technique of personification draws the reader in to project the meaning they think this poem will form. I wrote a similar poem about my guitar. It was not as elegant as this one though. Well expressed.

This write is incredibly beautiful and speaks to one who knows all too well the friendship of a guitar. Mine was a 12 string. My best friend for many years. Beautiful.

    Thank you for the fantastic review, Equestrik. I've never had the chance to experience the beauty of a 12 string before. My dad had one when I was a kid but I wasn't into music then. I really appreciate the the gracious stars, friend. I'm glad you liked this little piece. Thanks again.

Dear Mystery Poet,

Yours is the first I have read in the contest voting booth for Minute poems and it intrigued me very much. I wish I could play some musical instrument! To join with guitar or fiddle or piano to create something magical. Wow. Soooo stinking cool. *smile*

I loved your final lines, but would humbly suggest a small change to help with flow of thought:

*
Yours currently:

How deeply loved and prized you are
My sweet guitar
This soul creates
Where refuge waits

*
My suggestion:

How deeply loved and prized you are
My sweet guitar
Sweet refuge waits
Where soul creates

***

Yes, you are entirely welcome to toss this idea straight into the TRASH. hahaha

Either way, thanks and good luck -- (still worth a five!)

This is a picture-perfect Minute poetry and one with lots of wonderful meaning and heart for the love of a beautiful, resounding instrument...your guitar... The rhyme and rhythm of your poem are exquisite and create an amazingly smooth flow to enhance the reading of the poem. Fantastically achieved... and wishing you much luck in the contest!
