Jazz Man

Inspired by The Analog Kid.

The Jazz man plays

His blues

Upon the stage

Of life

As saxophone notes

Melodically dance

Across pen stroked

Crinkled paper

 

Each note representing

A letter

Captivating the soul

Silently spiraling

In different directions

Of life

 

The mournful melodies

Sing freely

Within a Poetic soul

Feeling deeply

Sometimes emotions

Play havoc

Replaying forgotten cords

Life not always in tune.

A amazing poem. I use to roam the jazz clubs in my young days. The music people could take you to good places. I like your description in the poem. Music can lead us to happiness or sadness. Thank you for the excellent poetry.

Music along with poetry can feed the soul and allow us to let out those pent up emotions freeing our minds.

[The Analog Kid]

That's for sure:)

I love this.. I enjoy both of your work and to see one compliment the other is superb.. I loved the lines:
"Within a Poetic soul
Feeling deeply
Sometimes emotions
Play havoc
Replaying forgotten cords
Life not always in tune".

Thank you Lily. It is always great to get a review from you. I am thrilled that so many enjoyed this poem for it was written in honor of another poet whom has become a dear friend over the years of being on here. I have a few more to write yet.

The inspiration for this piece came from one of my first friends on this site, The Analog Kid. He plays the sax and has helped me a great deal in my writing.

I'm a jazz man, blues man from the old days. I think in a circuitous way jazz can
lead a person to poetry. Circuitous because the route is rarely forthright or direct.
In a jazz improvisation I can imagine each note representing a letter (nice imagery)
just as each mood might capture a melody.

Good work,

Thank you. I love both blues and jazz. My friend on here the Analog Kid plays the sax and I wrote this poem for him because he has helped me and inspired me along my poetic journey.

I wrote this poem about a friend on here. One of my first friends on this site, The Analog Kid

I have always liked the Carole King song of the same title. This is it. I sit here looking at one of my saxes in the case. I haven't had it out for some time (few months), but when I do, it is therapy for all my pent up emotions, for sure. I was just saying a few hours ago that I "doubt that I inspired anyone on here." **smiling** Thanks for reminding me what I NEED to do... I am truly humbled, my "first WC friend!"

You have helped me evolve my writing and given me pointers when I have needed them. You do inspire others and I am glad this helped you.
