Last poetry!

The poem this week is "The Guitarist Tunes Up." This poem is quick and sweet. It's short but has a cool meaning at the same time. When I read it I imagined the author was at like an open mic night or something and a guitarist went up on stage. Before he started to play he bowed over his guitar because it's allready strapped around him. The author noted this though for a reason he wanted the reader to know that this wasn't a rock concert or "Not as a conqueror who could Command both wood and wire." The author wants the reader to see that this guitarist loved what he does and it's a tender sweet love that he cherishes just like the love betweena man and a woman. That's the next metaphor he uses he compares the guitar to a woman and how the guitarist plays it and loves it is like the sweet and passionate love of a man and woman. This poem is a one stanza poem with 8 lines and an A-B rhyme scheme.
