I touch, I feel

the adrenaline through

my fingers

Every press, every skip,

every step

on the pedal

I dance, I twinkle

my body warmth 

creates;

In my soul,

an eighth note floating

throughout

the veins of 

my“Octave Heart”

Ooh.

I like this.

I don't having anything all that constructive to say, I'm afraid... there's really nothing I think could be improved. This is a really powerful poem, I can tell you are passionate about music.

Nice work on this!!! Very Happy

I like it, but the flow's a bit choppy in some places. The first three lines don't flow smoothly, making it harder to get into the poem. The semicolon after "creates" is also distracting, as are the quotes around the last line.

"In my heart, in my soul" This sounds a bit cliche.

"An eight note floating" Did you mean eighth note?

I like the wording, just re-organize the lines a bit. Good job! Smile
