Ten (plus one) Haiku Motif on the Ring ©

Come on already

Pick me up and sing to me

You know you want to


Hold on to me please

I want you to cradle me

Gently hold my neck


Your touch is tender

Press on my frets, strum a chord

Reach into your soul


I know that you have

Other friends, some classier

But they’re not me, right


Oh their sound is great

Yeah they are easy to tune

But something’s missing


Something that we have

Something we have together

Something that we share


Is it the strings, no

Can it be the sound hole, no

The pegs, no, it’s more


Is it me at all

It has to be more, much more

I think it is you


When we make music

You think that I am ringing

I do, just with you


Feel my vibrations

But you are not alone here

I feel yours as well


Soul to soul we ring

For those who are near to us

Ringing as one

This Haiku Motif was inspired by a prompt I created in tribute to my friend Ruthie S and her guitar.
