I play an instrument
That pipes like a flute when percussed,
And hums like an oboe when strummed,
And sings like strings when tounged.
I play an instrument
That I can play with my fingers,
And my hands,
And my very own bow.
I play an instrument
That lubricates at the sound of a clapper,
And chirps at the sight of a piccolo,
And swells at the touch of bongo drums.
I play an instrument
That sounds dulcet,
And guttural,
And bombastic.
I play an instrument
That I can make vibrate like a timpani,
And whir like a bagpipe,
And wail like a trumpet.
I play an instrument
That never needs to be tuned,
And sounds lovely when wet,
And can even play itself.
I play an instrument
That has the curves of a cello,
And the shine of a saxophone,
And the grace of a harp.
What a wonderful-sounding musician you are! Wonderful writing. ;-)

Thank you, R! I'll admit to feeling pretty clever coming up with that verse. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Blue, and welcome! I noticed that you have a fairly new blog as well and I look forward to reading it. It's great to see other erotic poets out there.
My favorite part too R.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job!
And to think I saw the title and thought it was going to be something about a "skin flute" I hear that's popular with the men. haha.
Thank you, Jae! The skin flute is certainly an important part of the orchestra, it's just not an instrument I happen to play (alas, I'm not that flexible). It does make a lovely sound though!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post, thanks for sharing it
