Movement

Slithering through my mind
My bow moves from tip to base
Smooth notes my fingers find
Deep vibes boom from my bass


Other thoughts there One Single Impression

superbly wrought.

I was just "fiddling around" on my friend's bass the other day, and I felt those vibes, sometimes in my knees, then trickling down my spine - and i was just squawking around, watching the rosin dust motes in the sunbeam from the window...

'My bow moves from tip to base'.....my first picture was of a bow & arrow. I have a son who is a bow hunter, because he loves the silence, and the experience of intimacy with nature. It was interesting then, how quickly the image in my mind shifted to the bow across the strings. Both poetic, in their own way. Beautiful use of the prompt..

Superb, indeed. You've captured the soul of music here.

I could see the moves to making music...and I could almost hear the sounds.

Love the deep vibrations from this poem. Sometimes we forget that sound is movement too.
