Today is not good for rain
The sun is out
The gray is gone
The wind whistles a jazzy tune

five's were easy
five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, thirty
the nine’s should have been easy too
but they are not as jazzy to sing
18, 27, 36, 45
awkward melody...

pour me a drink ~
do you have a light?

jazzy night
dim the lights
hold on tight
out of range out of sight
take me to new heights

We were dancing happily with a zany
Zingily zing

In the French quarter of New Orleans
Pretending we were voodoo queens...

Purple Easter bunny, with your jazzy ways
Rainbow hair, and eggs painted in reds and grays
Pastel colors are not your thing, I guess
I hate to say this, but your hair is a mess...

Tinkle those ivory keys.
Piano man, don’t stop please.
We don’t want that hip hop.
Play us a jazzy tune.
A song to which we can croon
And sing about the moon....

Namaste.

Your love shows
In your words.

Namaste.

Differences shouldn’t
Be walls, but bridges.

Namaste.

Jazzy, brash—and yet beneath
The layers I find something.

Namaste....

Jasmine ( Pleiades )

Jam packed with sweet pollen 
Jostling with rival plants,
Jocular in Summer
January bare though 
Jazzy and beautiful, 
Jocose nasal senses
Joyous wonderful plant....

your jazzy smile and breezy hair

Once, there was a fish named Jazzy
Her color was really snazzy.
She took a dip in the doom.
and swallowed a broom.
then stumbled into her friend Ponzi.

I tickled the ivory after dusk,
being a bit of a jazzy cat.
It was an extraordinary tusk,
Although a bit too sharp at that.
The pachyderm’s response was somewhat brusk;
And now I’m feeling rather flat....

Jumping for joy happy,
   jilting sorrow and fear.
Join in, celebrate with
   jolly expressions and
      jazzy appearance. No
judgement allowed, only  
   joyous celebration!

Melodies pulsing through my soul
Undulating symphony of rock and roll
Strumming rhythms.. electric heat
Instrumental with a jazzy beat
Chords and lyrics.. Microphones

Jazzy Cat was playing the beatnik cat blues.
He has lost so much, what else does he have to lose?
There were many comments, about his granny glasses’ hues.
Straight out of the sixties, he was yesterday’s news....

jazzy jezebel Jerry jabbered generously 
in a jury-loving jerk-water town. 
Her jimdandy jiggery-pokery jingling 
in a jokingly jolly way, at her joyless jobsite,
jiggling jealous jobbers into a juicy jeopardy....

There is jazzy twirling activity down at the Beggar’s bog
Dancing and whirling by the lucky horse shoe frog
We see it happening, and we think St. Paddy’s Day
Frog does a Celtic Irish clog dance that blows us away....

High praise for Talkartoon Betty Boop
Her Jazzy theme song Poop poopy doop!
My partner thinks she’s a creepy sexpot
She’s innocence and sass, shy she’s not!

ruffled high-heeled, high-haired
the Mexican diva begins the dance
her partner concentrating on her beauty
stepping automatically to the best music
welcome to the flamenco, with castanets
and jazzy snapping happy feet...
