A melody so sweet to the ear
Each note plucked is easy to hear
Strum and feel the vibration within
Playing music, an audience you will surely win
Majors, minors, sharps, and flats
Peter piper played to take the rats
Brass, wood, and strings
A harp in the giants castle more precious than other things
A king who calls for fiddlers three
Music means much more to me
More than what comes with the sound
The feel of the instrument all around

This is a wonderful poem with good rhyme and meter blending fairytales and music together the only thing lacking in this symphony is percussion. But I'll beat the drum for it and give it a fave.
Nice catch Soren, thanks for pitching in! I might have to take another go at it but with a drum this time. Thank you for your read and support.
You are most welcome. I often find that including everything one wants in a poem lessens its power. Less is more they say.
