Write about playing a Musical Instrument


Violins in the Schools

There is a
cat in my room
after supper
wailing
to be free.

A young boy
holds her,
coaxes her
to make
sweet melodies,
but she
scratches
back at him
cornered by
his will.

Help me Mozart !
Civilization is crumbling
in my callow fingers.

And The Little Star
high up in the sky
is wondering
who I am.
