  One of my interests is music and I play an acoustic guitar.

  I wrote a poem about my guitar and thought I'd share it with you. My poem doesn't match up to some of Compound Complex's work however, I'd really appreciate any feedback you can give.

  My Guitar My friend

  
  

  Reaching for my old companion

  Alone in the corner on its stand

  Sunlight mirrored off the scratch plate

  It’s a great accompaniment for any band

  Fingers fret the strings with ease

  Bringing life to the melody in my head

  Music drifting through the air

  On its journey with nothing unsaid

  Folk, Rock, Rhythm and Blues

  Matters not which genre I play

  Picking softly or strumming aloud

  The response is immediate, no delay

  Crafted from the finest timber

  Could it be a thoroughbred?
  

  It’s good to call this wooden marvel

  My guitar, My friend

  It's good, Tallon.

  Had to hold back the tears. What brand of Acoustic guitar do you have?

  Hi Quarterback; thanks for commenting.

  My guitar is a Tanglewood TW1000 Heritage.

  That is a great brand, Tallon. I play a Norman. Tom Petty, and Bob Dylan play Norman guitars. I'm lost in the Oldies, but I love some of the Blues

  I would of thought that we would have had more guitar enthusiasts on here.

  Oh yeah..... My kind of topic

  I'm no Tommy Emmanuel but for me.... NO guitar .... NO life
  

  Had a few guitars over the years but just recently got an Epiphone AJ-220SCE/N

  It's not one of the top of the range models but it really sounds good

  Even with light gauge strings on it, it plays nicely and has good volume and great tone

  At least for me. I have never played any really expensive guitars so I can't compare but

  this does the job for me.

  Now gotta play.........

  Epiphones are great. I have played so many good ones too. You don't have to spend alot of money to enjoy playing

  I echo Quarterback's query; Where are all the guitar enthusiasts? I'll go one further; Where are all the other musicians?
