Harper

Celebrating the Harper's training session,
children let fly from their hearts
the very songs learned from this unassuming man.  
Hair silver in appearance, face care-worn,
playing his mandolin on the fire warmed hearth,
he gives way to each child's impulsive request
for a favorite tune.

Reviews

[Audrey Howitt]

Very sweet write Judy. Nice portrait of a bard.

[Fabian G. Franklin]

Lovely...like the singing voices of children.

[FJ Davis]

Charming portrayal of a scene I don't quite know where to place. (Have, however, ruled out New York.)
Warm, happy and kinda homey.
Endearing poetic portrait, Judy.
