Nice poem. I really like the title which gives the reader the immediate feel of soft soothing music. You seem to know your music very well. Reading through this made me feel like I was listening to a classical music piece. The vocabulary made me reminisce to when I was taking music lesson. I used to play the violin in my teens and learned a lot of these terms from them. Words like trills, piano, treble clef and forte really take me back.

The way this poem is written was well done. It sort of gives the reader (I am almost tempted to say listener) the impression of a conductor controlling an orchestra as the sounds change. When I was reading this I could picture the notes playing as the music got louder then softer, paused for rests, slowing then and speeding up only to repeat. It also includes romantic elements into the piece. Words like heart and commitment hint at it but the ending really sets it up as a romantic poem. It made the music described feel like a tango being performed.

The strength of this poem was definitely its musically themed word choices which are described very well. My favorite phrases in this were "Cradled Half Rests" and "Treble Cliff Commitment". I liked how the shape was described and the second was a nice bit of alliteration joining both themes of this poem (music and romance).

I really enjoyed reading this poem very much. It easily gets a 5 star review from me. I'll be sure to check the rest of your portfolio to look for other poetry like at as well. Thank you very much for writing!
