Aqua's Kind of Blue in Green

Cool white edge wave frill
Floats over aqua's blue green
Deep blue penumbra

Haiku did not originally have titles, they were numbered instead,
From what I originally learnt about the format.

Jazz Pleiades

Just feelin’ kind of blue
Jazzy blues harmony
Joined modal indigo
Juxtaposes smooth joy -
Jaunty jives splashing notes -
Jiven’ through the moonlight -
Jeweled mood reflections

                                        Eccentric but cool
                                        A vanguard of modern jazz
                                        Boldly blowing past bebop
                                        Challenging the status quo
                                        The magnetic Miles Davis...

you lean back
like you always did 
and blow

wearing your bell bottom slacks
cool 
just like you always were

I hear you now
maybe I always did
I just didn't know

it's all I ever wanted  to do
paint a picture
lean back
see 
feel
and hear the music

so please understand
I'm not trying to be you

I'm just trying

"Don't play what's there.
 Play what's not there."

Quote from Miles Davis, Jazz Musician

Writing poetry always in forms?
Why not write with the flow of life's
dancing waters?

Expressing yourself, freely as one
chooses.
Adds to a poem's bright light..
Bringing out brand new, lovely
"Poetryscapes"

The songs in your soul, that's my
biggest delight.
The inner landscape of you.!
So shining and true!
