Short Improvising Poems

eager exotic eyelashes
doubly dilly dots and dashes
quixotic crazy slashes
friendly farm ashes
wild window splashes
breakneck barley bashes
goodly gnarly gnashes
heavenly hopeful hashes
slick satin like slashes
meandering and marauding mashes
creative corny clashes
boots improvising as goulashes
eager exotic eyelashes...

You spoke a new language
  of rarefied air
  guided nonchalantly 
  through curving channels of brass

Conduits of cool
  juries of jazz
  floating past soulful valves 
  harbingers of what will come

Slender fingers
  improvising storylines
  magistrates of melancholy
  bailiffs of bop

Miles from the mainstream
  a milestone of 
  modern modalities 
  kind of blue...

Reflections 
Songs Not worded or versed   
Pure instrumental voice
Peaceful and soothing
Listening
Mild and calm contemplating
Reflective and serene
Like the past scenes
Developing 
the repetitive beating 
ongoing melody
subtle innuendos
 Producing
 Improvising therapeutic  
And joyous melt
the gift of a song

Nocturnal jazz played on 
your body, improvising, 
light touches and tastings; 
blue moans, soft and 
seductive with muted 
tones of desire. 

Swing rhythm unites two; 
blowing red passions, 
hot be-bop dances, and
free form movements 
that improvise fantasies 
with their own beats. 

Midnight songs of 
ardor released in the 
oncoming dawn; 
the concert is over 
and the players 
now sleep, together....

I'm going to try one more time
To write an intellectual rhyme
Some with complicated words
Most of which I've never heard
Words that cudgel my brain
So I can deliberate and strain
My antediluvian brain
To think from a new perspective
Endeavour to be more selective
Perhaps I should keep improvising
These sesquipedalian words are so misguiding
It would save much more time
To stick (or adhere) to my simple rhyme...

Attentively
The evening's rain
To the east constellation
Melodies merged and grew 
violent
Indignantly
A mellower noticed
Soothing song
Blindly improvising
Gods summoned music
A ballad of his projected time
Spotlight
Aesthetic potential and 
sympathetic
Too enticed to hear
A showing
Bright musical performances
Through the drizzle, with eyes
He qualified his love for reality
The soulful voices sounded like 
a poem
Instrument of the beholder...

I practice the right thing to do in situations
I teach these practices to children
I preach staying calm and in control
But when my emotions grab my soul's heart
Watch out! Stand back and pray

I think I am ready to show my tolerance and kindness
I should be fully prepared to give them a voice
But when they rile me up, and twist me backwards
All logic and well-thought-out intentions
Fly out the window and slide under a gooseberry bush
So here I go again, improvising....
