Kind of Blue In Mood Indigo

Kind of Blue in Mood Indigo

Feelin’ kinda blue irony ~
Jazz harmony
In wailing rifs
Of blues mischief

Modal mood indigo moonlight
Jives at midnight ~
Juxtaposes 
Notes with roses

Jeweled mood rhythmic expression
Of reflection -
Songs ingénue
In dusky blues

Inspired by the iconic jazz pieces Kind of Blue and Mood Indigo

Marikate Kingston Date: 1/8/2022 10:59:00 PM Oh, how I love this poem. I wrote a little poem about blueberries. Blues are beautiful in Monet water lilies. My mother use to play Gershwin's Rhapsody In Blue. To me, it is the most beautiful color. My favorite lines of yours are : Jeweled moon rhymic expression- Of reflection Oh, I just loved this one! It made me smile and smile. Three cheers for blue. Three cheers for you. Login to Reply
