What I am

These are two things I can relate myself to. A lollipop and a piano.

1) I am Tootsie Pop
On the outside
Colorful and bright
Behind the wrapper
A sweet sticky goodness
A solid brick
That guards its prize
The prize
An even more
Mouth drooling chocolate
The sweet and the chocolate work together
In harmony to make something
All together
Better
Several layers
Each one better than the next
Clashing
Sweet and sour
Chocolate and cherry
All adding to the whole



2)I am a piano
Each key brings a different pitch
Every one unique in its own way
It brings so many melodious moods
Eerie and creepy
Jolly and popping
Quiet and smooth
Played right, a tune appears
Played wrong a confusing mass of clashing sounds is heard
There are
High and
Low
Notes
And there is everywhere in between
Sometimes the tone becomes out of tune
And one must rechannel it back
To its sweet ring of sound again
At first look a piano looks simple and sleek with its shining keys
But underneath the hood
Gadgets and strings move
Busily
Working to create the beautiful outcome
We hear
