Karen Jones Poet Personification

Notes About The Poem

Written 10/31/2025 for Personally Speaking  Contest

sponsor Nette Onclaude

The Saxophone

Jazzy brassy voice
I scream in blue tones
I dance to fill the void
Buttons like backbones 

I’m the woman you love
Can’t get me off your mind
I sing with your every touch
Improv I drink like wine
