Poem - Little Lutes

1 min read


Some instruments you have to toot
And others make a louder hoot
But best of all, is something small
The tender strings of little lutes

And using fingers or a thumb
It's little strings you have to strum
A tiny sweep, will make it sweet
To play the tunes for everyone

And when you tweak those little strings
Just like the smallest bells that ring
You'll make a tune, that fills the room
And everyone will want to sing

Although the strings may number four
It sounds like there are many more
So rich the sounds, that plays around
Sweet harmonies will wait in store

So softly, loudly, fast or slow
The melodies will quickly flow
The lute reigns free, so easily
From tiny things do great things grow

Some people they may play the flute
Or take a horn and try to hoot
But small is good, so if you could
Come join the fun with little lutes!
