Soaring notes of silver, transport an enraptured audience
Into blissful realms seldom visited
Lingering… a prelude to more heady heights?
Every soul’s breath fleetingly held captive
Not one solitary sound emitted, until…
Crashing waves of ecstatic applause
Erupt.

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."

Oh, I love this one so much. Thank you for sharing it with me as part of your submissions for the Anthology. This is great and sorry I missed it first time around. Love the idea of silence coming before the eruption of applause at the pianist. Just brilliance. Will let you know in the comments section of the piece that I choose for the Anthology. Will also be posting another update soon and will give a link in one of the comments section, just incase you miss it in the myriad of notifications! Thanks again for this gem. Onto the next one.
Such a great idea for the challenge. “Every soul’s breath fleetingly held captive” - really enjoyed that line plus the ‘crashing waves’ part. You have painted the picture and it’s associated feelings of bated breath very well! 😃 Here’s a round of applause! ;0) 👏 👏 👏
And the virtuoso plays. Lovely acrostic, Angie.
