with this beautifully painted and perfectly made flute I profess my love to you oh, dear airy, light and mellow my poetry in music gracefully penetrating whistling and whispering my love, forever you will be, the lyrics to my songs the flawless melody to my music and as I slightly open my mouth to blow air into this instrument know that I have you in my thoughts, in my heart breathing the same air you breathe

This is beautiful! And although it fulfills the NaPoWriMo prompt it also takes care of the first challenge in my National Poetry Month Scavenger Hunt!!
Just so you know, you have inspired me to try my hand at writing love poems for NPM!
What a lovely instrument and verse to accompany it! 💕
There is a definite harmony when two people are in sync – even with there or especially because of there uniqueness!
Perfect. Mich.
