Swing From Paris Sonnet.

Goldfinch60



Where did that time go listening to them,

Just four of them playing such good music,

Songs from the past into my heart did thrum,

And brought to me beauty that did so stick.

 

They played the music from within their hearts

Straight into the being that was in me,

Only the four of them playing their parts

With a wonder that set all our thoughts free.

 

So Swing from Paris keep swinging away

With the glorious music that you play

Bringing the smile and goodness to our way

And we’ll return and see you another day.

 

Such a wonderful time you brought to all

That filled us with the wonders of your call.

          Swung high enough that nothing dipped in the Channel in the swinging! Next bring the choir over to the continent for some Norman cantatas. A worthy exchange of beauty and talent.

          • Goldfinch60

            Thank you arqios, the choir is coming.

            Where I'd ignorantly classified jazz as saxophone music, you hereby enlighten me, thank you very much, Sir. What I love about this particular number of yours is how perfectly it illustrates the delicious beauty of this genre, crafting vignettes of reality and tendering them to savour in a trice. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing.

              Thank you Missy. No jazz isn't just saxophones, it has so many different types and I have been listening to them all my life along with other types of music. As I say to people "So much music, so little time."

                    I;m going to hazard a guess this is about a string quartet, my favorite grouping. If not, still is nice work.

                    • Goldfinch60

                      Two guitars, one violin and one double bass, they were superb. Thank you Dan.
