Senryu for those unintended consequences

Killed by composers,

The hammers strike tender strings,

All for the music.

Author's Note

Senryu being a word I learned recently...thanks

[Kenaz]

true, the piano is my favorite of the instruments. I guess you have to break some eggs

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i like his stuff....love the piano also...don't play just like to hear it.

[Kenaz]

Never heard him. I do not play either, but I would like to. Though music is not in my background

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Every beauty requires sacrifice... Well done.

[Kenaz]

I'm glad you got it

[Gleb Zavlanov]

I play the piano and I find this to be a very fascinating write. Never really thought for long about how a piano faces torment and anguish just to make beautiful music. A great and interesting write.

Not just the piano but the creatures it took to make them

[Kenaz]

took to make it*

Sometimes if we are thinking too much, in each and every art, especially when playing the piano, the piece, shall not be jazz, in all it's tender spontaneous ways, but pure math.... and in each way, the strings can burn... such as in daily life things, to balance is to breathe art... a fine one here. I loved it. xx
