Thank you for the great comment, Pangie. I didn't know you were a jazz fan! See what happens when you write about what you love, you get to find out from the comments who else loves it to. Go Tampa Bay, boo Dodgers! Hugs ~ John

This Pleiades is great, I love it, the words swing, they are so cool that you could almost sing them to the instrument (saxaphone) being played. This is a win my friend. Good luck in the contest, but you really don't need it. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

John, this jamming jazzy jaunt was a joy! I admire the sense of movement and music created through your enlivened imagery and clever use of alliteration, oh, and also the assonance/subtle rhyme of ‘Jovial Satchmo’. Your musical heart shines in this glittering piece, my friend. Best wishes for a win and warmest wishes for you.. ~ Susan
