As requested by Bill Charles...

It seems I only felt the thorns,
And so it goes" - Billy Joel

OldPoet - you have done a masterful work with this writing. The guitar I can feel and hear, the woman in the photo, well, h'mmmm, what can I say...

Her name, I believe, is Heart Stopper.

Hi , the woman makes me think of Carla Bruni, who was a model, then a singer and has married to Nicolas Sarlozy, president of France, she looks like a lot...I think there are some girls who look like each others. Thanks for the poem.

I like the poem a lot - but, you know, I kind of got lost in cheekbone envy. And look how long her fingers are - they are beautiful and probably just right for the guitar.

A good melding of poem and picture.

Well, you know how I feel when you write about music and the gorgeous instruments that make them happen and this poem is just wonderful. There is a sexy edge to each line, a bending-swaying thing goin' on here,John.

Another of your best!

Indeed this has a sensuous and passionate sway to it, something very seductive about a guitar..... Inspiring and stimulating as always dear John.
