The Guitarist Tunes Up (Shall this be Poetry Response 5?)

Honestly, I didn't really like this poem. It's a sweet ode to guitar playing.  He loves music and loves playing his guitar.  I can relate to it too, via tennis.  I play tennis and am very attached to my raquet.  I was just bored by it.  He compared his love to loving a woman.  Very typical.  I did like the line "with what attentive courtesy he bent over his instrument."  That line was very emotional and seemed real.  I could picture some one awing over their instrument.  But once he compared it to a woman, my interest was lost to tell the truth.

  1. I found it interesting to see how many of my more musical students loved this poem. I like if fine, but I think it's kind of simple. I don't play an instrument and it didn't strike me to read about it.
