The violin will always be
an instrument of choice.
A virtual utopia
of heaven's holy voice.
An orchestra of violins
can make one laugh or cry.
The noval sounds of blues and jazz
the maestro can't deny.
Staccato notes are mastered by
the violinist's bow
performed with a dramatic flair --
a virtuoso show.
From classical to western songs,
the fiddle can be heard.
I love these instruments with strings
that speak without a word.
The repertoire of melodies.
The soaring trill of notes.
With heart and soul in each refrain
and sounds that seem to float.
A handsome Stradivarius
adds magic to each song.
An opus that reverberates
and carries you along.
Its smooth design is made of wood.
Its beauty fully planned.
But as for me, it's ivories
on my sweet baby grand.
