This entry was inspired by a news item I caught this evening about a piano found abandoned in the woods of Harwich near Cape Cod Massachusetts. The Baldwin piano, which required 6 men to lift it into a van for removal, was found in tune and perfect condition along with a piano bench.
The Piano
A swirl of autumnal leaves cascade
‘round the piano in the wooded glade
Pagan pianist unknown unseen
Composing ballads to his forest queen
His melody haunts the icey air
Deep within his arboreal lair
Her ethereal form floats by night
Disappearing with each morning’s light
His muse from which inspiration springs
Accompaniment to the song she sings
Phantom fingers on ivory keys
Unlock the forest’s mysteries
