flute concerto
Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken. A stick becomes a
flute when it's loved.—Yoko Ono
deforested flute trees
sing-song on the breeze,
sweet breath of their nostrils
aspiring to please,
before their light fossils
turn martyred apostles.
the strident pimento
or suave blue mahoe
in certified sequence
with juicy mango
my riverside frequents.
and o how it sweetens
with elegant chansons
my secret passions
for filigree tongueing!
when meagre rations
inspire my longing
to harbor their thronging,
aeolian nuance
gives flute-tongues a chance
to serenade mountains
where daffodils dance,
like flautists, like fountains—
concertos in conference!

Thank you, Sky_.
I have many favourites -- the Mozarts, Bachs, and Vivaldis.
Here is an especially chanting concerto Chaminade, though:

I appreciate the R/L add.

Wow! Your recollections are interesting, Sky_.
So you missed out on the flute: don't miss out on the guitar.
I muddled my text slightly in the previous response. Here is how the particular line should read:
Here is an especially ENchanting concertINo by Chaminade, though:

I, too, have a guitar story.
The year I graduated from high school and started out as a pre-trained teacher, I bought a guitar from my first paycheque. I also bought a self-instruction manual. Night and day I would apply myself with the strictest regimen, even when everyone else was fast asleep.
Ultimately, I became a fine guitarist; friends teased me about how I was able to make the guitar talk. That was how I learned to read music and play the instrument.
Years later, I ended up teaching guitar at the Jamaica School of Music (JSM). When I left JSM, I had been the Director of Studies ( the person in charge of the academic programme) for 5 years.
