musical outlines
A night listening to jazz is always great

Deep Brass notes splendor

Upon me  cast  its  musical  spell

While I reach for memory tender

Deep Brass notes splendor

While I reach for memory tender

Musical specter reflects on golden bell

Deep Brass notes splendor

While I reach for memory tender

This Triolet  ( ABaAabAB) and Photo are dedicated to a friend (gone so many years). She and I could wail on those brass instruments all night long.

Let’s Play a Little Jazz (#microfiction)

No more trills

have had enough of that

this Gavotte

is sounding rather flat

*

Music I simply adore

but please mon conductor

can we add some pizzazz

and lighten up with Jazz

 

Needless to say in a house filled with musicians – it’s nice to have some variety.

Thanks to Monkey Man for hosting Flash Fiction each week.

Make Music (photo prompt poetry)

Play me

listen to those low tones

that come from my heart

a depth only you can produce

***

Play me

each finger has a special place

knows the inner core

of my being

***

Play me

to your dying day

hear the soft sweetness

of love we  share

***

Play me

as you lean into me

and I into you

we make the sweetest

Music

This picture is a poetry photo challenge from my friend Charles Martin. This photo is a man who has had a long, loving life as a jazz player. Hear the Bass’ words, feel fingers produce beauty as they together make music.

That Certain Song (a poem)

That certain song

song from the past

takes me back

to a  feeling

when life was fast

***

Back to

those wild days

my memories revert

those boys

their so crazy ways

***

He was in the Navy

magical eyes of blue

Weir wolves of London

the song we knew

***

There was the athlete

sports car good looks

“Round About” by Yes

blared

while we cooked

***

Then there was

“too hot”

what more could I say

“Sultans of Swing” – the Mustang

carried me away

***

Finally the man

who stole my heart

loved jazz

to him it was art

***

George Winston

the master

seasons said it all

one was my favorite

we married in the Fall
