so, you don’t like the blues,
or is it the aura that inspires
the words that sear themselves
into the fleshpots of dissonance

so, you don’t like the cadence
that drums itself to a different timbre
resonating life-choices germane
to irrelevant cacophonies

so, you don’t like the diff'rence
‘cause it’s that which soaks the soul
and re-tells the medleys of the mundane
searching beyond reason to reality

so, you don’t like the blues,
then, why not sit here with me
‘til you understand why
I really like the blues

Jerry & Faith, thank you for reading and letting me know that I am not alone on this one, but then, how can you have a poet's soul and not like the blues (or da blues)?

I love the blues and I truly enjoyed this. The blues... there is no other color that sounds so true. Thanks for sharing.
