CATCHING A JAZZ BUG
sorenbarrett said:
A most beautiful description of what jazz is and why it is so seductive and satisfying. I feel like I need a cigarette after listening to it. Nicely written Bobby

I loved the complex but most satisfying rhyme in this piece The metaphor also complex works well (that is if the wind is blowing) An enjoyable read Bobby

SOMEONE HAS TO DO IT
Bobby O said:
This poem, \"Someone Has To Do It,\" highlights the importance of selfless acts and compassion. The speaker describes a brief moment of connection, where a glance sparks action, and a sense of duty to help others in need.
The language is vivid and evocative, with imagery that contrasts the fragility of human existence (\"threadbare,\" \"wire thin\") with the resilience of the human spirit (\"fiber optic buff,\" \"huddled care\"). The poem also touches on the idea of proof and documentation (\"Find status proof in this photo still\"), suggesting that even in moments of kindness, there can be a need for validation.
The tone is one of quiet determination and empathy, emphasizing the importance of fulfilling this \"job of mercy.\" The speaker seems to be saying that even small acts of kindness can make a significant difference in someone\'s life.

Always are the times that you own your words and then they can take jazz-like shapes and colors. You always deliver, even when you’re promised false hope. Stay on that stage and keep on, Mr Bobby O.

i am sure that often what are essentially lies are not meant to be hurtful but rather employed to try and delay or lessen the hurt of another anticipated failure .. I know it aint easy quitting anything .. I also know I enjoyed these words even if I got it all wrong .. in my head I could see it all unfolding yet again .. neville

Variability is part of life. Loved the first line \" Sometimes becomes always when the glint in her eye is real\" The next line is powerful and deep. Addiction can be a one step at a time battle. It matters not what type of habit it is. Powerful write Bobby
