JAZZ VAPOURS 11 November 2001 Like a train on a bridge skyline in a soft glow sunset lazy jazz fingers slip note by singing note into my waiting soul and loosen taut threads and spin them into spider-fine molten gold harmony that weaves through the pathways of my thirsty tapestry. - Owl |

A work of art is needed to be long or short, the only importance is for us to gain the messages and emotions given out by the poem. Which was really well done in this one. Great read I regret the sins of the past and face my doom to the bitter end... |

I really enjoy your style both with your poetry and the way you think. I have added you to the short list of pip people I would like to sit down with and spend a few hours getting to know and listening to stories. (and no, none of them get a choice in the matter....)

I do believe, lady, that you are so much more "serene" than I.  |

Thank you Jack Straw. I know exactly nothing about jazz, but I think it is highly intellectual and needs to be listened to (as all good music) note by note. I don’t remember what that particular piece was called (and I would only have known if it had been announced – it was on television - or who was playing it, nor even on what instrument it was played), but what I will never forget is my intense desire to imbibe the fullness of each note as it was played. Thank you Kacy. I particularly love the piano and particularly classical music, so I would imagine that I would also particularly love classical jazz piano music. I haven’t much experience in listening to jazz – I didn’t use to like it when I was young – but that was because I didn’t take the time to listen to it - but when I listen to it now, there is some that transports me into a world where there is only music and my extreme delight in the cleverness of the “composition” (I am told that a lot of it’s variations are off the cuff). Oh, yes, of course, Magnus, you may join me. I can’t remember the music, but I remember the effect it had on me and I, too, am sure it would have taken the twang out of your strang! Thank you Windwalker. I know nothing about jazz, but I think there is an incredible amount to learn about it and I would love to. I am taking more time to listen to it properly and discovering that what you say is true. Some of it is certainly very beautiful and (probably) all of it is very, very cleverly composed/played. Thank you juj1. I am glad you enjoyed it. Thank you Nancy. I’m glad you thought so. Thank you passing shadows. I know the feeling of nearly having missed a poem which I enjoy. Susan, I am honoured and delighted at what you say – and don’t need a say in the matter! It feels good to know that somebody out there would like to get to know me and listen to my stories. The feeling is mutual. You are a very interesting person. RedStone, I haven’t “changed” my style. Firstly, as you will see from the date, this was written in 2001, and secondly, I write in many different styles. Perhaps you have only read a few of the poems I have posted here which would lead you to believe that I have only one style. I’m not sure what you mean by a “choked” style, but glad you liked that style anyway. serenity blaze, sometimes I am serene, and most of the time I try to be, but sadly all too often, I am not. Thank you Kate. I am so glad they did. Yes, it was a dreamy experience too. - Owl |
