Speakeasy Jazz

Speakeasy Jazz

A Poem by C.L. Chandler

Jazz is like a bubble bath for your soul...

It floats and soaks and soothes and energizes and revives

The buzz of it gets you high and

You can't help but surrender to it

With a tap of your foot and a swing of your head and a tingle in your fingers

It's the music inside you...

Your heart and mind and hips and lips and

The butterflies in your stomach

Expressed in  cymbals, brass, and

A hundred keys of ivory and ebony playing a game together.

It makes your close your eyes and hum instrumental lyrics 

Along with the improvised tune of the sax...

It makes you want to write poetry.
