Seducing The Jazz Butterfly
A Poem by
Marie Harrison
A poem about jazz.
"Seducing The
Jazz Butterfly"
Sax, how you
Float up and down
Zigzagging through
Your high squeaky notes
And sultry throaty tones,
Slyly caressing
My silky flesh
Buttons nightly.
Seductively
You spread
My bejeweled and
Speckled wings open,
Pensively peering into the hollow
Mystic caverns of my
Melancholy soul.
Oh, how well
You know me,
Discovering more
Each twilight melody
You magically produce.
With the wandering smooth palm
Of your steady hand,
You seduce me discreetly
In front of a smokey
Crowded room .
Your trilling rhapsody
Lifts me up with such electric elation
To soar and peak in the
Twinkling celestial
Skies high above.
Yet so quickly,
Your intoxicating low
Staccato beat
Stomps me out,
Like the butt of a used
Cigarette .
Each jazzy encore
My zealous wings
Flutter back for more,
They're addicted to your
Smoldering night heat.
