Poem Commentary

A fellow artist-friend mentioned that he played sixteen instruments. I told him I like harmonicas best.  He is writing a song for me with harmonicas in it. He is awesome!

Harmonicas

There's somethin' about harmonicas that move my very soul;

Especially when played in southern rock and roll,
An interjected note that's thrown in here and there;
The way you move your mouth across the bars so fair.

If you play it for me softly, I will curl up and get close;
With a blanket and a pillow as you play that bluesy prose;
But the thing that drives me crazy and I dig it even more;
Is when you play it fast, tapping boots down on the floor.

So pluck them strings together while playing your guitar;
Music is my love and passion, but if you wanna move me more,
I get a charge from feeling that instrument too sweet;
As you play your harmonicas, I will not miss a beat.
