I don’t know if you saw the news reports of the high school student whose art project for his college applications was placing a piano on a high sand bar off Miami (his father helped). They didn’t tell anyone about it, so that caused quite a stir in the media. Photographs show this lonely piano sitting there, in the middle of the bay. And, in my imagination stirred, too, as I wondered about the beauty of a piano sitting atop the ocean (even at high tide, apparently).
Before I knew the real story, I wrote this poem, and then created it as a digital story poem. Tomorrow, I’ll share my writing process and the rough draft work I did on the poem. (lots of cross-offs, restarts, etc.)
Peace (on the shoulders of the world),
Kevin
Kevin, another great poem. Thank you for sharing! I love the image of standing on the shoulders of the ocean. You are a gifted writer.

I love the images and your voice creating your own moment here. You make it look easy. I know it’s not!
BTW, I’m having a love affair with my guitar and I love music poems that celebrate the human connection to play.
I am working next on digital stories with the Mac (I am leading a workshop in a few weeks). So, be ready for a call for help!
