switch click on the metronome
scaling fingers racing home
bare feet pedal metal flare
notes sustain and float on air
staccato point legato’s phrase
song sheets flutter on for days
forearms cramp and fingers fly
pieces forte to the sky
eyes are fixed on each new note
exercising practiced rote
resonating polished box
arpeggio-ing tangled walks
on hammered strings precision lies
who’s playing who, by and by
coda’s flare a test of zest
final bar, at last a rest
well at least I tried my best!
Today’s NaPoWriMo prompt is to emulate a jump-rope skipping type song. The idea of rhythm came to mind, and when I think of that I think of my piano, so this popped out. Thank you, readers!
