Ciao mystery poet, you have two votes now!

Something fresh and original. Very enjoyable.

The orchestra and its many opponents. Love how each instrument entices the next one to follow suit .

Each has its own unique sound and together they create a beautiful melody.

This poem certainly fulfills the requirements of a diatelle poem and describes the beginning of a piece of music well. I like your use of words such as zing, teasing and seducing, and your rhyming is good throughout except you have used 'in' twice as a rhyme alongside 'within'. I would have tried to make the rhyming a bit more varied if I could.
Good luck with it
Celyn

Very nice! I really like your diatelle, and particularly your theme. It's supported by a fine image, a good choice. Sending best wishes for your entry in the contest.

This is a great poem and meets the criteria of the contest. For me, the font was a little difficult to read but other than that it's beautifully written. Best of luck with your entry in the upcoming contest

Thank you for sharing this writing prompt entry with us. I enjoyed reading. It seems to me, I am not a poet, though, that you met the poetic form, and nothing seemed forced.

This is a lovely poem, enhanced by the picture. Such a difficult poem to write-and you really did it well. I could hear each instrument clearly. One suggestion: In the longest line, if the subject is oboe and French horn, the verb that follows would be "are."

It seems I am introduced to a new form of poetry almost weekly on Fanstory. A diatelle is something that I did not know existed. You appear to have nailed the form requirements and did so with a poem that I found to be quite entertaining. Well done.

    Charles, hang around, you will surely see modern and archaic poetry challenges throughout the year. FS is truly a great platform with so much talent displayed from the closet writer to the published professional.

It was a joy to read your diatelle poem for the Diatelle poem contest. The theme and the presentation were excellent along with the well chosen words to bring the orchestra alive.
Well done.
Blessings

This is a great description of a classical instrument group with some strings, wind and of course, the piano to give it a complete instrument to lead this orchestral group, beautifully written my friend, exact syllable count Ana articulate delivery, good luck, blessings Roy

    Smiling back with a bit of Leonard Cohan belting out some sounds in the background.

This poem has a nice rhytm and a good graphical structure to accompany it. This is also very musical and smooth, I can imagine a little song created exactly in the way you describe in your poem. Good job :)
