Comment from A. Willow Bends
So very deserving of a six and I do not have one. There is truly nothing more beautiful than the sound of a flute, whatever type it may be and you have conveyed this. When I hear the piccolo in Stars and Stripes Forever, well, I just think it makes the whole piece! Your overall work here is great, both your poem and a great photo to match. I DO blew it on this one.
Mine is FULL OF RHYME. I was apparently writing toward my other club. No problem. Will try to get it right next time. LIFE is just too hectic right now to not make mistakes. AND I PREFER FREE VERSE!
Great job! Love it. Favorite stanza: the second one Lovely!

Thanks so much! It?s hard to go from thinking in rhyme to free verse. I love free verse too, but not as easy to write as some may think. Story writing has a path, poetry writing takes a lot of effort to travel down its many diverse roads! Appreciate you enjoyed this as I enjoyed writing! xoxo
Comment from Pearl Edwards
From the POV of the flute you've created some lovely descriptions throughout your free verse. I am haunting....I think, for me that verse is a perfect description. A lovely read,
cheers.

Thanks, Pearl! All instruments are beautiful, but the flute just has a quality like no other I think! appreciate your kind words! xoxo
Comment from Sally Law
I'd there is an instrument I don't like, I haven't pinpointed it yet. The flute is unique and sounds hypnoic, alone or in the company of an orchestra.
Sending you my best today and for the writing challenge.

I know what you mean! Every instrument is precious! Each has its own unique place it touches the heart. Alone or together, they are true gifts from God!! Thank you for reading Sally! xoxo
Comment from Janetsue
This is a very lovely personification free verse poem. I tried to learn to play a recorder once and it did not go well. I admire anyone able to play a musical instrument of any kind!

Thanks again! I only play for myself as the feeling moves me. I don?t spend time learning sings, just mostly make melodies up as spirit moves. Such a peaceful instrument! Thanks also for taking time to enjoy! xoxo

Ooooo.... I really like that closing line (yes, the rest was good, too, silly!!) -- it is just perfect to leave the reader with an 'aura' of wanting to learn more: "how many? what are the differences? are there more than I think?" Wonderfully written to pull the reader in and hook the reader's interest!! ;) :) Yvette :)

Your poem is very well-written, descriptive, and appealing. Through personification, you have given the flute a pleasing personality. You have used a good blend of literal and figurative language to describe the flute's abilities.

I absolutely loved the first and second stanzas of your poem. They so capture the feelings a flute evokes while listening to its wonderful tones and melodies. This has inspired me to look further into the origin of this wonderful instrument. Enjoyed!

Comment from lyenochka
Lovely entry for the free verse challenge to write about an instrument! I agree that the sound of those flutes are haunting and airy. My favorite lines were:
"haunting
like ancient memories
whispering through
an ethereal dream."

What a lovely lyrical poem that flows like a song with pure notes. I love the line with penetrating tones. I never knew there were so many types of flutes. All the best, Laura.

I love the flute. I have a friend whose daughter plays flute for the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra.
And you are right, they are many. What a nice response to the challenge. Thank you for participating.

Thanks so much! I play only for my own enjoyment. Just as it flows out. No particular melody-whatever notes strike me in the moment. Such a peaceful way to distress. Appreciate your kind feedback! xoxo
