Voices of Jazzy

A cozy area, not intimidating, Its basic lights decrease the intensity. A silence falls across the stage. The words on paper are silent. The poet's heart skips a beat, Then the voices come- In a medium alto range ivory keys play. Soft cool jazz with elongated notes Giving a sultry sound, An organic-poetry begins With a beautiful robust tone. The earthy maturity of his words Injecting from deep within. He strips his emotions bare Of his heartbreaks, desires and fears. Simultaneously evolution of Poetry and jazz merge the two arts- Rhythm and diction, a powerful jazzy sound. Imagine the emotions within their minds. I empathize with their tones of voice, Leaving me spellbound. For Giorgio Venetopouios' contest, 'Jazzy Poem'

That sounds so very majestic, a wondrous event to go to! I would love to attend something like that, there's not something like that here where I live! You describe the event so beautifully, I truly loved reading each and every line, so harmonious! What a tremendous piece, Great Work!!

There are many in and around San Francisco and a few in New York and Chicago. I've never went to one but my cousin from California has gone to them. The internet should have online poetry reading, of course it's not like being a live reading. Thanks so much for you lovely comment. Much appreciated. Warm Smiles, Connie
