Romantic Keys
Going solo is never easy
he didn’t have time to orchestrate
their meeting impromptu
the right keys were struck
their lovemaking an improvisation
his technique professional-
yet expressive.
She called him a virtuoso
it was like a fantasy
he felt it was reminiscent of a song
delicate nuances were there
but he was unprepared for romance
he preferred to play solo.

I looked up Frédéric Chopin (because it was on the music sheet) and seeing the beautiful woman by the piano decided to use the words I found about him and his music for a “found poem.”
Written for The Sunday Muse #97 for this image.
Capricious Poet 
A found poem from his description – it is awesome and fits this image perfectly!

Thank you! Sorry, this is late but I got busy this week. Writing for images is so much fun I’ll see you again soon.

Tut, tut, Beckie. Playing Chopin solo might be more satisfying for one lacking confidence, but playing Romance with a partner is much more satisfying when playing with a partner regardless of experience or confidence. Plenty would like to teach if needed. I will not relate to that here, just know.

He preferred to play solo – a duet perhaps was too much…love the use of orchestrate.

Thank you! Chopin never had a lover for more than a year except for his marriage which didn’t last either. Sad.

You adeptly turned that love story into a musical romance that was soft-pedaled at the end! Love it.

This found poetry feels like an overture at the beginning of a relationship. Expecting a “one night only” show and ending up with a repeat performance.

I met one of those professional suitors who preferred to play solo, but was very skilled at wooing. Grrrrrrrr. I enjoyed your found poem. And love that the words are from a write up on Chopin! How cool.
