Washington Whirligig.

Goldfinch60



One more it happened,

That smile grew on my face,

As soon as the first notes were played

They sailed into my soul,

And I was in heaven.

The five of them spoke to me,

Spoke to me through their instruments,

And I was lost in their music.

That glorious sound abounded,

Abounded in the room.

I was in ecstasy

Never wanting to come back.

At the end of the evening

They stopped,

But their sound lives on,

Lives on within my heart.

        Thank you Michael, they were very good, there were over a hundred people at the club and they all enjoyed their music.

        Hello, my British poetry writer, and I'd just like to say your poem certainly has a note to it. A good heart I'm sure you have though.

        • Goldfinch60

          May those notes always touch you heart down there in Aquae Sulis. Thank you Kevin.

          THANKS UNCLE ANDY ~ We are both Traditional New Orleans Jazz Freaks and enjoyed every liquid note of Your Video ! It refreshes the Heart & lifts the Soul ! Every Hospital & Care Home should have a Resident Trad JAZZ BAND ~ better than DRUGS. At my Funeral (in 60 years time) I BRIAN want a Trad Jazz Band walking in front of the Horse Drawn Coffin Truck playing "Just a Closer walk with Thee" AMEN !
          Im in my Lunch Break and Angela is in the Land of Nod ~ thanks for sharing
          Blessings & Love to You & JOYCE ~ A & B 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

            Thank you Brian. The band played many types of Jazz and were a joy to listen to.
            As the Service for my funeral is over and the people are leaving the Church I am going to have Rock around the Clock playing.

            Oh, you're in the Ashmolean museums sometimes God, and I'm occasionally in the V&A Museum in London. Got some inspiration for a hymn-poem or two from there - to follow in time.

            • Goldfinch60

              I have had so much inspiration from the Ashmolean, it is a wonderful place.
