The Guitarist Tunes Up

I love this poem. i do not play an instrament so i cannot really relate to this in the sense of a musical instrament but i can relate to it as just an instrament because of tennis. my tennis racket is like an instrament. i see this poem as a man playing a guitar but he does not see it as just an instrament he needs it so much and respects it so much he sees it as a lover. He knows that he needs the guitar to make music similar to a man knows he needs a women to do pretty much anything. It is a respect type of thing he has for his instrument.
