Poetry
Acoustic Guitar
By Ghost
24 November 2007

Curvaceous as voluptuous woman
Sawn cedar and rosewood grand
Contours of classic dreadnought
Crafted By Luthiers hand

A dedication of  delicate fingers
Unaccustomed and so untoward
Scour the fretted expansion
Of augmented and popular chord 

Fossilized ivory bridge pins
Machine heads of  shimmering chrome
Harmonic strings of angels sigh
Resonate like whispering dome

Nice poem! You must surely love your guitar :D

Definitely must like that guitar. I tried to learn guitar once, but with damaged knuckles from another sport I never could play so well. Still, they are beautiful and you convey that very well.

Yes, it is clear that you love your guitar and you paint a lovely picture. Your rhyme and rhythm were good, title apt and all in all a delightful poem.

Yep, your feelings come across well. However, the first line was a little too cliched for me and set me off on the wrong foot. Sorry. 
 
Phil.

You didn't mention the painful fingers trying to hold down strings! Ouch, I remember it well! 
 
Nice poem.
