Strings Divine ~ Stradivarius

haiku reflections

a call to angels
music upon strings divine
hearts be known in song.

Reverie

Reverie
So hankers this heart
So sounds this soul
Quiet be
These prods of passion
This moment
The music
Held
Within the violin
The lament
The longing,
Resounding
Resonant
Yet silent.

Rose Marie Raccioppi


Veronica Veronese, 1872, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, British, 1828 - 1882.

The Violin's Voice

The flow and grasp of hand
A bow in heart's command
Sounding strings
Sensibility of soul
Waves of a knowing grace
Fill the room
Each note
Each pause
Each touch
And heard be the violin's voice
The music
The music.

Rose Marie Raccioppi
Poet Laureate

Music is the poetry of emotion
And poetry is the voice of music.
