Day 15  National Poetry Month

prompt -  challenged to write a poem inspired by your favourite kind of music. Try to create the sounds and timing of your music. Think about the refrains, neologisms and flights of whimsy or repeating/in verting lines or ideas.


Original Jazz

Vibrant music to lift the soul
created spontaneously from the heart
strikingly original yet recognisable
making your feet tap right from the start

soulful saxophone reaching out
accompanied by fast fingers on piano
as notes dance across the open room
we`re transported from the world we know!

trumpets vibrate through the air
drums keep the beat rolling along
brassy,  festive and legendary
carnival feel is where we belong!
