Jukebox plays your hit song Jackpot for just a dime Jewel in shiny chrome Juicy colors varnished Joyful tones and rhythm swings Jive boogie social dance Journey; the speed of light

Your poem reminded me of my youth and going to the lunch counter and playing the jukebox with my friends. You've captured the joy of the jukebox--all that music and just for a dime. What a deal. A fun Pleiades smartly crafted. Sara

Smashing write Anne-Lise. My youth was peppered with disappointment each time the jukebox had nothing by my fave band. Fifty years on, they're on a high… guess I knew best! Congrats on your ‘dime a spin’ win

In Britain we have a tv show called ‘The Repair Shop’ where they fix up things that people bring in. I’m sure they once did a jukebox. Maybe Google would have some suggestions… but you’ve tried that already… of course you have!

Do they still have jukeboxes around? You can tell I don't get out much.

- The jukebox didn't exist where I grew up ... (on a small island in Norway) ... today you can find modern versions of them ... but not at all like the old ones, Jerry :) - hugs

Perfect! The spirit of the 50's was music for dancing, flying loose -- sorry, can't cut modern music -- like rap, it is crap! Flush it....

Hi there friend from the north country, Every one is doing this pleiades thing. Is it a fun form of poetry? You did capture the jukebox era quite well and I wish you the best for the contest. I keep thinking pilates when I see it. LOL

- There are so many forms I have never tried and never will ... Pleiades is challenging enough for me ... - When I write in my mother tongue I never use a specific form ... I write from my heart, Nancy :) - hugs
