Far from where I am going

i am a tuplet
eighth not based
played out
in a jazzy octave duet
by silver flugle horns
and golden soprano saxophones
into a world
that sixteenths have made.
Andante mannerisms
highlighted by a vivace mind
stuck within an allegro society.
A legato life unaccented and understood
played uponm blue quarter ntoes
arbitrarily ascending
in chromatic succession
a scale of beauty
yet not considered
by a staccato society
where smooth and unrefined
is unappreciated.
half time grooves
dance in crescendos
across snare heads
ringing out in
fortissimo overtones
into an accelerated system
drowning out
double time expressions
leaving only reverberations
within decisive ears.
The music of originality

(ah yes another of the many more music poems to come. i hope this topic doesn't overstay its welcome. Well anywho i hope you all enjoy it.)

nice use of muffin

From one musician to another:  well done, maestro!  That's the first poem I've encountered to use that many musical allusions.
