Analysis of Fiddle player



Fiddle player
 Dance and dance
Kick up your heals
With ants in your pants

Or bees that sting
While tapping your toes
 And dancing your jig

Play us a melody
Or play us a tune
Bring us some sunshine
And we’ll sing until the moon

Fiddle player
Play and play
Rosin your bow
Spitfire your name

From the magic on the strings
And into the night
The music will ring
Fiddle player
Play and play and play

Nighttiger

A fortyish native born all American man. Married twice and for the last time. I have four children; Three daughters and one son that are all over the age of eighteen. I also have two grandchildren; one three years old and one nine months old. Inspired by God, tragedy, life's experiences and then a fairy tale love. I never intentionally set out to write poetry, but "She" inspired me. "She" meaning the love of my life. That love is a passion that after thirteen years still grows stronger each and every day. It eventually had to be put into writing. As I wrote poetry to her, she encouraged me to approach other subjects. Doing so brought me to discover that poetry could wash away the bitter tastes of life (suicide, cancer, and divorce) that were still living like demons inside me. So when poetic therapy brought those impish fiends to a stalemate, I began to experiment more. Creating fictional characters and situations within my works. The support of this online community has inspired me even further to continue to hone my writing skills giving the readers the best that I can offer. Thanks to all you out there in Lulu land. more…
