Harp teaching

Harp


The low strings like huge metal jail bars,
The high strings like short strands of dental floss,

The pillar like a huge warm yummy

chocholate fountain,

The top like a stunt park,

The pedals like penguins' feet,

The soundboard like a mountain ski slope,

The  dics like a weaving loom,

The tuning pins like fence posts lying down,

The strings rings sucking in every string like black holes in deep space.
Theo, age 9
