“DOING THE BLUES”
by
Bill Charles
~~~~
Strumming rhythm chords,
playing a song at the bar…
You sat down to listen,
to my haunting guitar…

Noticed you on that stool,
head swaying, wanting more…
Lips whispering a song,
walked then, to the floor…

Seen you out there dancing,
hips moving, a swaying beat…
Keeping time to this music,
just barely moving your feet…

Wanted to join you there,
this music surely accrues…
Tonight I was a playing fool,
for you, just doing the blues…

I like this poem...reminds me of New Orleans.
I was down there on the fourth of July for a poetry convention and the blues was the flavor of some of their music. Somehow, it complimented the spectacular fireworks display over the Missippi River...

enter my soul,
feel my desire,
let my eyes guide you

Bill,
Well I'm hooked on the blues so you singing will have to do.
