Sea Jazz |
by Sandra E. Morris |
Sea jazz is… The rolling crash of shoreline cymbals At each salty climax. The mnemonic note of the sax Wailing against a backdrop of azure blues. The frothy pianissimo of low tide Tickling the shells of my earlobes. The cool splash of the soloist conjuring up Billie, Dizzy, Ella, Sarah and the Duke With one sweet wave of melody. The heavy strum of the double bass leaving Soft, indelible prints in the rhythmic sands Of time. See? Jazz. |
