From a city's hilltop , I gaze down there below with lights in rhythmic hop; notes bouncing to and fro... on alleys where life croons women dance as skirts fly; and blues whip juggled tunes sax cooling a flamed sigh! ........... “Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life”--- Berthold Auerbach ~ poet and author ~ ....................

A uniquely creative way to tackle the prompt, Nette. It's just amazing meter and rhyme on these lovely lines. Loved the "notes bouncing to and fro... on alleys where life croons"...huggs
