Notes About The Poem

Was It U?

WAS IT U? Tony Adamo
Under the stars, were Jelly roll Morton rolls, carnival lights twinkling,
like flowers glowing brightly in the night.

Candy-bright sugar moments,
pop like gumdrops,
a sweet melody we all know.

Graffiti dreams paint the walls,
hip-hop rhythms,
jumping over a yellow moon,

Chet Baker's notes float,
alive in the air,
the Hammond B-3 sings its soul,

freestyle, free heart, diggin' to write a jazz chart,
we dance until dawn,
lost in the Latin rhythms of last night.
