Lisa hosts musical muses at dVerse Poetics today…
yes,
she can
play flute,
silver-plated,
learn lessons to
perform technique;
read musical notes
follow basic beat
but
how he
softly sways
with reed flute,
gentle and tender;
natural organic sound
memorized by breath
and expressed
simply by heart.

I began playing flute in 1948 ~ still pick mine up from time to time, though my embouchure (mouth muscles) are lacking. Love your poem and as Dwight said, flutes have been around for ages.

I started in 5th grade and played again in church a few weeks ago with praise team.

Very nice Lynn. I think flutes have been playing music since the beginning of time!

different agendas, different elementals, different moods. Interesting and evocative take on the prompt, Lynn.
