A Melodic Haiku

player coaxes notes

fingers take seductive lead

in dance with the keys

    1. Thank you! That piano gets played too often for the keys to get dusty…the black, lacquer top on the other hand…yeah…daily dusting battle.😊

      1. Do you play? I got a keyboard once as a present and failed to learn much at all on it. I had a promising rendition of some little “ditty,” but it lead to nothing. 🙂

      2. I’m classically trained on flute and performed some jazz improv. I’m not as skilled on piano, but I love to play. It’s just finding the time to do it…Lol😊

      3. Interesting! I’ll bet you play that flute very well. and you are pretty good with that piano too. I was trained on the Tonette…”The Tonette is a small, end-blown flute made of plastic, which was once popular in American elementary music education.”

        We all learned to play “Joy To The World” in 3rd grade. I probably passed with a “C.” Lol…

        🙂

      4. I can play when I practice a lot. I played a bit last night after a hiatus, and it was a little awkward, tripping on my own fingers…Lol😊

      5. How balanced of you! Lol
        It takes a lot of practice to be able to use both hands. It’s also challenging to read in both clefs…It’s like reading two novels at the same time.😊
