The Piano

Last night's in class English assignment was to write a poem about an object we saw yesterday (in 10 minutes!). I came up with this:

The Piano

My hands rest on the black and white keys.
I marvel and wonder at the sound
This majestic instrument
Allows me to coax out of it.
So comfortably my hands fit the weighted keys
like a perfectly tailored suit.
Beautifully;
Dynamically;
I play.
Everything else goes away;
Leaving only me,
The music,
The piano.


Not too shabby for ten minutes, if I do say so myself.
