To a fretless electric bass guitar...

[ayoub]

I tickle you gently first
my fingers playfully
stroking coaxing
melodious sounds
deep and rich
from within you
only for so long
can I wait
before a pinch
a pull and a tug
you're almost
a percussive instrument
in my hands
gentle slaps
louder harder sounds
an animal growl
bringing out the devil in me
making me wild
I make everyone dance
to the tune I play on you
My slender instrument
of wood and string
smooth, harsh
together we can do
anything

one thing that doesn't feel right: 'percussive'. I know it's a real word .. but I don't know .. it feels funny to say in your piece ... maybe it's just me and I haven't seen it used overly much. lol

another piece where you play the duality very nicely. :)

It's just how the bass can sound when slapping and snapping... very percussive... :)

Thank you :)

Very nice poem!Fun to read :)

I like this part a lot:
"an animal growl
bringing out the devil in me
making me wild"
