Piano

black keys
white keys
touched by
moving fingers that
connected with
a singing heart
metal pedals
kissed by
nodding feet

the sound of music
dancing and flowing in
keys
pedals
fingers
feet
ears
eyes
hair
breaths
air
reaching the hearts
that are listening

“such an incredible write. the flow and imagery were

remarkable“. I second this!

"nodding feet"? I thought only one foot is involved in piano

like driving a car. No?

Thank you, 盈盈!

Hahaha, good question. FYI, see inside:

咦？中文版呢？

Ask Tim:)) In my memory, only one foot too:))

藏龙卧虎之地！好诗啊！有才！

Good question. 这首诗是灵感闪现后，直接用英文写的，好像英文比中文更能表达那种意境，所以就没有译成中文。

我写双语小诗，有时是先写英文，然后译成中文，反之亦然。有时只有英文版，有时只有中文版，都是跟着感觉走。

Got it. Thank you!

I am not a poetry person, but I can feel that,

between ebony and ivory, you have a spring in your step.

Who knows? Maybe your Muse was dancing on your piano.

Muse is dancing on the piano. 喜欢这一句！

Such a beautiful line!

秋兰，you're very poetic, a poet better than me.

Thank you for your nice comment.

"you have a spring in your step", so lovely and creative!
