A Mozart Image
You may need: Adobe Flash Player.
Inspired by the rehearsal of the Mozart string quintet in g minor.
If the piece could be seen
it would be a rich
purple, deep
red, swirling
midnight blue.
It is a dance
in the shadows,
(a sad lovers’
serenade)
an innocent
in a forbidden land.
There are gypsies
and Georgian dancers
slipping between forests
and assembly rooms.
There is a spell
cast across the centuries
by a man many years ago
and five musicians
in today’s setting sunlight.
I wonder
if they can feel the pull
of the magic
as the last notes are drawn
from the strings and the bows
hang in the air with the echoes
of the final
harmony.

♦♦♦♦♦♦Great Imagery...
This poem was very enjoyable for me to read. It offers captivating imagery for the reader and keeps in mind how important this literary device is. The title of the poem fits the stanzas very well. The title complements the words and helps keep the focus on imagery. I would love to hear more about this; maybe you could include a couple more stanzas for readers. I think another stanza can be added between the first and second paragraph in order to offer more of a transition. Keep up the good work.
