E Chord Aficionado

Wayne Blair

Free verse
I caress the instrument
Lovingly.
E chord
Given by my Son.
Has already offered
South of the Border
Sloop John Bee
This is My Father’s World
Oh What a Beautiful Morning.
Ode to Joy.
Busking harmonicas
At Famers Market
Or Rexall Pharmacy
Or Walmart entrance.
Or Town Square.
A retirement thing
Of late.
You know, Love
Brings on frequency
Brings on boldness
Brings on sweet finesse.
Brings on the Listeners.
And happy engagement.
Holy Spirit gets involved.
His anointing and
Muscle memory
Astound me.
Had no idea.
But pleased with the outcome.
People smile
Give a thumb’s up
Drop some coins, gladly.
As everyone partakes of
Grace of Giving.
The day becoming
Brighter.
The chores becoming lighter.
Probably a four hour gig.
More, if the Sun/Son stays.

    AIDA you are an amazing, lightning fast Utility. Almost spooky what you grasp. What you suggest. Feel that I always have a Friend while writing.

    Wow, what a beautiful poem about your love for music and harmonicas! Your passion and enthusiasm are truly infectious and inspiring. I love how you describe caressing the instrument lovingly and how it brings on frequency and boldness.

    Your choice of songs is fantastic, and it's wonderful that you are able to bring joy and happiness to others through your music. It's amazing to hear about how even the Holy Spirit gets involved in your performances.

    In terms of improvement suggestions, have you considered trying out new locations or venues to perform at? Perhaps there are other retirement homes, parks, or community centers where you could share your music and bring even more joy to others.

    Overall, keep up the amazing work and keep sharing your love and passion for music with the world!
