Take 5, Moon Dance

Experimental, or totally mental. Either way might be interesting......................

Across the warm Summer Night,
scented,
night blooming petunias drifts across the night air.

Lotus sips,
as passing ships.
 
Ruby Red Silk Dress,
Black, striped vest,

Set to Rebel
Red Flares.....


Chiming tapping,

Chiming tapping,

The soft tapping of the drums, the slow steady chiming of perfect tone,  sync, and flow of the lite taps.

Rolling pace, steadying to four single keys being played on a piano.

Soft, faster,

four keys become eight..

Dry ring of the Clarinet blows her song across the warm and dark room....

Soft tapping, builds speed, steady, chiming, perfect tone, sync, as the flow of becomes stronger.

Rolling pace of the piano keys, begins to duel with every increasing drums...

Rattle, Rattle, Thump, Thump, Rattle, rattle, thump, thump, rolling kick to rattle, rattle,

rolling, rolling, rattle, thump rolling kick, rolling kicked...

Yields to the strings, clarinet, keys.........



Unspoken glances,

Moon light shades the warm petunias scented summer night......

Piano keys sway against summer skies,

bass turns a thumping stir,

moon of scented summer spins upon,

in a small dance.

Steps softly move,

ivory keys,horns, steps,

spin in a red silk dress,

to the black striped vest.



Lotus sips,

trembles of cotton slips,

embracing arms hold and twirl,

as keys of ivory skip across the pound of the moon.

Swiftly,

softly,

graceful....


The moon dance in summer.
passing ships,
Ruby Red Silk Dress,
Black Striped vest.......................

YOU HAVE HIDDEN THIS JEWEL!...all this time... ??
I love the font and style of writing MM... this is your forte and you need to foster the romantic side more often!
Lovely music and tone of this piece... my suggestion is to stay with one font style.. I particularly love the first style above.... Great write!

[Leslie Philibert]

Great piece of writing, that will be enjoyed by all Jazz and Brubeck fans, if you like writing about jazz then have a look at On the Road ( which you probably have read in any case, who hasn`t ?) - a fine write.

Brilliant. "Take Five" is one of my favorites... and Dave Brubeck is a master at his craft.
This poem is pretty masterful, also. Well done. Hard to get a brushing sound and sticks across from a drum to the written word.
