Hey - Joe

Great Tina- a real rock guitar never weeps but plays on proudly! (after powdering its nose!)- liked the analogy with a female- I think that is the way most male guiatrists look at their instrument!

The clue is in the last stanza, Pia. Sometimes things aren't as they seem;-)

Tina

This is a treat Tina - very different, but has your eye for detail and a kind of stuttered elegance to the writing that I find wonderful. Well done. :-)

Hi Tina,

I have to admit, that I read this about six times
and I wasn't sure what you were writing about, but
now that Pia has pointed it out, I can understand
the poem better.

How silly I feel, because it's staring me right in
the face. The title said it all for me once I
understood, being a Hendrix fan, that perhaps this
is about Jimi's guitar speaking, because as we all
know, he could make that guitar talk.

Hope I'm right because I love that track.

Great read.

Jenny.

Thanks, so very much, fb;-) It was an enjoyable piece to write, and I'm so thrilled you enjoyed it too. Have a good week.

Tina

Many thanks, Blessing. Pleased you enjoyed, and I appreciate your taking the trouble to tell me;-)

Tina

You are dead right, Jenny, on all counts, and I'm so pleased that you picked up on that title;-) I adored that track and was a great fan of the late Jimi Hendrix, to put it but mildly.

Oh and as for reading it more than once, I read it to my hubby, twice, and he still thought it was all about a cat...;-) Which was fine by me. Each to their own, and all that;-)

Have a sunny day.

Tina

I know Jimi Hendrix' song very well Tina and knew this had some connection to it but what did you mean about the "clue" in the last stanza? I am wondering?

;)Pia

Hi there, Pia. I guess I meant the mention of 'strings', in the last stanza, and the deliberate double meaning. I.e. 'strings' of course when referring to women's underwear of the pantie kind;-)

As you very rightly say, male guitarists certainly view their 'guitars' as having a sexual connotation, and I think this little lady was rather playing him at his own game, so to speak;-)

And now I've got 'Hey, Joe' on my mind and shall just have to go on put on the CD. Have a peaceful evening, Pia and I hope the weather is as glorious there as it is here at present;-) A golden sunset to be sure.

Tina;-)

Oh I see- I was just about to come back to you as I understand the meaning now- but I didn't really understand the bit about the underwear. But your explanation gives the poem a whole new dimension. Thank you.

The weather here is magnificent- wonderfully warm for Autumn with lots of sun and not too windy but the trees are changing colour and the leaves are falling so they will be bare sooner than later. But the forecast is good for the rest of the week thank goodness! We did have a very wet summer.

Thanks for explaining Tina
have a peaceful evening

;)Pia

And you, Pia;-)
