He plays
His soft, arousing tune,
In ways
That leaves your senses strewn
Because
For no other reason than
He does
And only 'cause he can

He strums
A single haunting chord
He hums
With every note explored
Explain
How can you do just such?
In vain
It's then you think too much

Just let
The music carry you
I'll bet
You'll see a view
                  anew
And yet
It all comes from those strings
As fret
by fret* the music rings

You hear
A melancholy song
A tear
Moves down your face, a long
Wet path
It leaves, upon your face, a sign
It hath
Joined with that heart of thine

And though
All that you've now heard
It's so
That it may sound absurd
But I
Have played all this, it's true
It's my
Small Christmas gift to you

Yet you
Don't know, and that's just fine
It's through
Some method, quite divine
It must
Be done by God, who let
Me just
Show love.
                    
                        --Your Monitor Pet

P.S.
I really don't believe
That, yes
You could not now conceive
The piece
You think your speakers play--
Oh, sheesh
I made that up today.

And even though
You might like it, you see--
You'll never know
That it was me.



*P.P.S. Just in case some of you didn't know, those long bumps that go all the way across the neck of the guitar are frets.

Oh don't look at me, I can't play guitar at all  
but my monitor pet sure can...I'm not kidding at all when I say I heard a song playing very very close to me and it was really cool, so enchanting...then when I was about to log off, I noticed that my speakers were off the entire time. I place the blame on my monitor pet (shown in the pic), but he hasn't confessed yet!

At least it isn't "Puff the Magic Dragon" I can't stand that song. Well anyway, the guitarist dragon is a really original/cute (but not as cute as you) idea, and a break in all these xmas poems. Ciao!!

Spyro,
  What a lovely melodic poem, one that haunts with a tune the mind won't dismiss. Me likes!

Wow, Spyro this poem is fabulous, as is the amazing music you heard coming from your Dragon friend. I think he was just saying thanks for being the wonderful person that you are!

This is marvelous, but what else would we expect from you?  The structure is flawless, and such a charming tale of your musical mystical pet.

Thanks for the replies everyone!   I printed them out and put them in front of my little monitor pet...don't know what his opinion of them is (he won't tell me), but I'm sure he's grateful, as am I!   And merry Christmas, guys, you all deserve to be on the 'good' list if you aren't already.

i really enjoyed your sentiments here..sometimes we all should be less critical and just shut our eyes, engrossing ourselves in the experience...

merry xmas and say hi to your monitor pet for me!!
