Nette Onclaud Poet Light Verse

Notes About The Poem

Pick-A-Title, Vol.45 Contest of Edward Ibeh 11 Aug 2024 Inspiration from a live concert of Earth,Wind,and Fire singing group Philip Bailey- main vocalist Songs- Reasons, Fantasy

Cool Fever

Live music leaves me enthralled 
as thuds of a drum, the intricate fondling from saxophone notes blast these veins 
until intoxicated head convulses

when euphoric tunes pump in unabated--
jazz, R&B, wild soul, and rocking pop ignite
primal ectasy in the flesh...raw!

Pulse beat raised at 110, my torso gyring in motions uncontrolled--
the cortisol of anticipation surging through an adrenaline high;
cool the song- whips , oh more feverish my body trip!...just there,

Philip Bailey whams a falsetto 
higher than high in climactic lifts,
my whole body possessed without Reasons on Fantasy's electric stage:

Another grasp of dismembered reality lures, where smokey thirst begs 
for more notes...  
this moment a cool fever of a thrill from a live concert rushes on,
where an elevated zing drugs my soul!

Sam Kauffman August 12, 2024 at 10:03 AM Nette, amazing images that express the delirium of music and all of the endorphins it releases.

Duke Beaufort August 12, 2024 at 5:54 AM Nette, I have been to concerts and seen people enthralled in the music, lyrics, and rhythm. The way you describe this seems to match what we see with amazing precision...and with that dreamy quality that occurs in some concerts. You have something going on here that's truly amazing. Smiles.
