 Mon Nov 03, 2003 8:02 pm Flute (A Poem) |
|
Flute (in the style of Sekou Sundiata's "Dijerrido")
In hours everyday you will
learn to make this perfect
note: make the tone
edgy, support! support!
Fingers fly and lips stretch
like a rubber band!
One huge sound machine
never producing that perfect
sound. Sometimes though,
the notes flow out suddenly:
you hear the rhythms of
romance, fanfare, dance, fairies,
life in a silver sound chute.
When it’s right, the flute is
a king, a queen, and you the
lover, escort, maid, grateful serf.
You can get lost in this
silver sound: don’t think;
feel your music.
Feel what you want to feel
in this silver salve
sliding in ecstasy through your veins.

Well, what can I say? It's beautiful on several levels.

I like that...it's dead.....musical...and kinda touching. I guess it's a flautist thing. (I've given up my campaign for flutist not flautist because we play the flute not the flaut (James Galway said that...)

No don't give up. I play the flute and when people say flautist it bugs me so much.
Flutes All Over The World Unite!
Sweet poem. I never thought of a flute like that

I know Galway said that but I think it's kind of special that we're one of the only instruments that gets a name change for the player.  And thanks for the approval of the poem: would anyone care to offer some critiques? There are quite a few sections that I can't seem to perfect...
