Laura Leiser Poet Pleiades

Jazz

                                                     Just listen to that sax
                                                jam and jitter and stray.
                                    Jaunty beats and wild notes
                        jump around as I swing
                                    jiving to the music.
                                                Jiggling and grooving, we
                                                      join in that soul train dance.
