- Jukebox -

                              Jukebox plays your hit song
                                  Jackpot for just a dime
                                   Jewel in shiny chrome
                                   Juicy colors varnished
                              Joyful tones and rhythm swings
                                  Jive boogie social dance
                                 Journey; the speed of light

Terry Flood September 15, 2023 at 3:40 PM Smashing write Anne-Lise. My youth was peppered with disappointment each time the jukebox had nothing by my fave band. Fifty years on, they're on a high… guess I knew best! Congrats on your ‘dime a spin’ win

Andrea Dietrich September 14, 2023 at 6:37 PM So cool . Congrats. I have an old jukebox bit it needs repair and I can't find anyone that does that Terry Flood September 15, 2023 at 3:34 PM In Britain we have a tv show called ‘The Repair Shop’ where they fix up things that people bring in. I’m sure they once did a jukebox. Maybe Google would have some suggestions… but you’ve tried that already… of course you have!

Jerry Brotherton September 13, 2023 at 6:18 PM Do they still have jukeboxes around? You can tell I don't get out much. Anne-Lise Andresen September 14, 2023 at 1:16 AM - The jukebox didn't exist where I grew up ... (on a small island in Norway) ... today you can find modern versions of them ... but not at all like the old ones, Jerry :) - hugs

Joseph P. DiMino September 13, 2023 at 2:06 PM Perfect! The spirit of the 50's was music for dancing, flying loose -- sorry, can't cut modern music -- like rap, it is crap! Flush it.... Anne-Lise Andresen September 14, 2023 at 1:28 AM - The time of the jukebox... I wasn't born, Joe - I agree .. rap, is crap - Many thanks for your comment :) - hugs

Nancy Kaufman September 13, 2023 at 1:33 PM Hi there friend from the north country, Every one is doing this pleiades thing. Is it a fun form of poetry? You did capture the jukebox era quite well and I wish you the best for the contest. I keep thinking pilates when I see it. LOL Anne-Lise Andresen September 14, 2023 at 1:23 AM - There are so many forms I have never tried and never will ... Pleiades is challenging enough for me ... - When I write in my mother tongue I never use a specific form ... I write from my heart, Nancy :) - hugs

Ilene Bauer September 13, 2023 at 9:52 AM it's a shame there are so few jukeboxes around anymore! your poem captures all the joy of listening and dancing to one, anne-lise... Anne-Lise Andresen September 14, 2023 at 1:34 AM - I have never danced to a Jukebox, Ilene ...it must have been a fun time for those who experienced it back then :) - hugs
