Kelly Deschler Poet Rhyme

Kind of Blue

What is that feelin'
Creepin' 'bout my heart,
I think its kind of blue
Breakin' me apart

Fallin' into pieces
How many a heart has,
Once throbbed with neon
And all that jazz

I'm feelin' kind of blue
Not deep enough to cry,
A solemn kind of blue
Don't need to wonder why

Revolving slowly into
This somber attitude, 
Azure leanin' on green
A pale, indigo mood

Muffled sounds carry
The smoothest baritone, 
Over a muted trumpet
And a sad, sad saxophone 

It's nothin' strange to me
Been right here before,
... Turn up the music
Slowly, close the door.

Marikate Kingston January 8, 2024 at 4:10 PM What a beautiful imagery throughout your poem. My mom used to sing Rhapsody In Blue by George Gershwin from the bathtub when I was young. (Your 4th stanza reminded me of this altho' I believe it was metaphorical) Our home was sometimes a sad one and due to her, also a happy one at times Your poem was very moving for me and so far I have read it 4 times, I wish she was here to read it too. Kelly Deschler March 8, 2024 at 10:05 AM Thank you so much for your kind words, Marikate... I was touched by them :)

Sam Scott January 7, 2024 at 4:19 AM Anyone who has been over whelmed by that inexplicable sadness that sits somewhere inbetween tears and laughter will love this, Kelly, as I do (fav) Kelly Deschler February 25, 2024 at 4:46 PM Thank you for taking the time to read and comment so kindly, Sam... I appreciate it :)

Weston Gregory July 30, 2023 at 9:13 AM A sense of exposing that feeling and not let it lay hidden, I mean laid bare the heart knows. Lovely. Kelly Deschler February 24, 2024 at 6:15 PM Thank you for the kind words :)

Sam Kauffman July 24, 2023 at 10:48 AM Nicely done, Kelly! Love the way you integrated the track names into your poem. Your rhyme flows over the each line like water flowing over river rocks.

The Situation July 20, 2023 at 5:59 PM Perfect! Not over loaded with words that need defining. But the distription of Blue to the tee. Kelly Deschler February 15, 2024 at 7:13 PM Thank you so much for the kind words :)

John Gondolf July 20, 2023 at 4:15 AM Your pen certainly creates a pale indigo mood with this piece, Kelly. I hope the sun shines brightly in your world today and creates some upbeat rock 'n roll.
