Jazzy Contest Entry ---

Shhh/peaceful, take your place in this introspective whirlpool of spaces between the silence ~ your time to contribute is always clear in the right company. Driving pulse, that's you. Ethereal, I believe that's me. Unfolding soundscapes with mezmerising effect ~ that's the album. This isn't the real time capture of music, the studio/mind edits and restructures. Edit on top of edit hypnotic on playback. Otherworldly, in a silent way. I stole the words, reinvented silence as sound. These words don't wish to move with the rigid flow of conformity, they can be poetic ~ should the ear be attuned ~ that's them/not us. 5th place

DD congratulations on your win. "Spaces between silence," "introspective whirlpool," "reinvented silence as sound." wonderful poetic introspective wanderings through this fusion of jazz. Blessings to you.

You played the words beautifully, fading out without an ending...I am still lost somewhere in the poem, hitching a ride on a notion that is fast dissolving...rather nice being a captive to flow. I'll keep the headphones on.

Thanks Paul, this was written experimentally to try and align to a sponsors contest I have never placed for. I quite liked what appeared on the page as the expressions of 'silence as sound' I find quite compelling as well as abstract journeys within poetry. We'll see if it places, but I appreciate your vote of confidence perhaps I have hit the brief of contemporary jazz, thank you

It has that jazzy 'free' improvisation feel to it complete with its own rhythmic drive. A Ronnie Scott of a poem for sure. Cheers - Gary
