Lady Day and Prez - A Poem

Lady Day and Pres



Lady Day sweet talks the blues
Vowels rise and fall like balloons
Prez begins to hold his muse
She wails, she hollors, she sways,
As the thumb strum beat goes on.

She breaks,sips her pink fizz
BB murmurs that the thrill is gone
But not between this electric whizz
Of a vocal ease, the song has been sung
For the deft naked tones of Lester Young.

Sunday Madness

Sunshine at last- a better day than of late despite a cool wind. I can live with that as there are places where the sun is captured without the wind.

Perhaps my little spell i cast this morning helped to bring to the fore clement weather -

Witches of past and present arise
Bring the sun out of the skies
So mote it be.

Anyway, i had a nice contemplative coffee moment this morning outside in the gardens belonging t the hostel. I was reading some of the poems of Silvia Plath, and i noticed a squirrel in the gardens,followed by a couple of wild rabbits. The grounds are a haven for wildlife, as a sparrow bravely came to my table,ad looked for scrap-bits.|I had none.


I had a quick phone call with my bro,and said that all my vista are complete this month.But then i realised afterwards that i still have Margate to do, deferred from last week, and hence will complete tomorrow.thus i apologise for the gaff to him.

I was astounded at the response i got for my poem the other day. Jazz inspires me ,and i think i should continue in the same vein.

Birthday Greetings
