Jazz that beat
short and neat
but what I meant to hit
was take any word like fit
try it out in different ways
keep that word, try not to sway.

your poem has rhythm, swoons like a tune
makes me want to reach for the moon
but the exercise was to use one word
couple it with another, like it's n'er been heard.

put it with 'up', looks like someone got bust
hitting away means getting through the crust,
take hit, like fit, it can go far
stick it with 'off' and your onto mars!

This was darn jazzy, and you know something it almost had a song of its own, like a jitterbug!  It was very kewl.

The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.
