Jennifer Fenn Poet Verse

Jazz

JAZZ

Just eighty-four, Grandma
Jives to Michael Jackson,
Jogging memories of
Jumping into fox trots
Jolts of Charleston dance,
Joyous beat of brass bands,
Jubilant flapper times.

John Watt October 15, 2020 at 9:32 PM Love all your J-words Jennifer, and the sense of joy embedded in jazz music. Love how you brought grandma in both to personalize your poem and to underscore the vintage nature of the art form. Hope you win! ~ John Jennifer Fenn October 15, 2020 at 11:08 PM Wow! Thank you John! That’s the best compliment I’ve received since I jumped into the Soup pot! That made my night!
