Jazz - September Collage Poem

by

entry picture

 

Breeze of loss blows

an Autumn anomaly

 

To those who don't like jazz

please have a change of heart

 

Piercing my eyes like sharpened glass

a salty boy stands in dark shadows

 

It's like watching paint dry

I am ready to like jazz

 

Let's ask Matt and Phred - Is jazz dead?

The paintings cost more than you think

 

Ready to open another door

like stepping across generations.

Brilliant verse of rhyme burst
cuts out the sour notes
of those jazz music critics.
