Violin Poem by Frances M

Wales, the land of sheep and strange accents

Violin



Bowing wide
fast and free,
horse hairs
sweeping over nylon string,
vibrato
and hear the notes
warble
an underwater song,
pluck
the sound of raindrops.
Wavering beauty.
a hunter's cry -
one minute,
a gentle whisper
the next.
