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.

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.
