box harp

rattletrap luster of the box
from penney's, sunrise peach, bent-ended
with the rubber bands arrayed
in longwise plinths

i am in the strumming fingers
of this gimcrack lyre
the music rising as air castles
from this fount of pling

This Week's Prompt: Ukelele Voice/What is Your Music?


What if we are each musical instruments? For you or someone you know or imagine, name your instrument. Describe the sound, quality, timbre, look. What is your music?

Are they organ-ic or do they harp? Do you strum or pluck? Is your sound shrill or do you soothe? Do you play well with others?

If you were evangelizing your instrument, what would you do to espouse it? The Ukelele Society of Connecticut wants to recruit 1 million ukelele players and encourages libraries to have free ukeleles for checkout!

Feel welcome to interpret this broadly or riff on this theme. The ukelele's the limit...
