An emancipation of the blues

An emancipation of the blues

 

 …the bass reverberates

an emancipation of the blues…

instantaneously,

pulsations of rhythm

surge through me…

precipitating a centrifugal force

of inebriated highs.

Your pic is of Jimi, but I was/am an Eric Clapton aficionada myself! Your use of the word "emancipation" is the strongest aspect of this poem. It's amazing how listening to the blues (which I do before hatching a poem) makes me feel so free to express myself, I could just peel down to nothing (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

I was pretty impressed with the photo and wanted something to impact the memory that Jimi had on the music industry. I worked in a record store back in the eighties, and came to learn an appreciation for all genres of music. All these years later, it still remains one of the best times of my life! Thanks, Margie!

The reverberation of music sinks into the soul and as a universal language heals as a whole :) Gorgeous...

Wherever would we be without it? Thank you dear Poppy!

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Kelly... "knowledge speaks... wisdom listens"... I was raised in a fanatical religion... that sheltered us from the real world... so I am a late bloomer. I appreciate your insight and sharing... never to late to appreciate the real world. truly, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

Never too late to appreciate. Pat

[Kelly Scheppers]

...thank you so much, Pat! I've never seen that quote before!

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Kelly, "when the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will have peace" is another quote of Jimi Hendricks ... A wonderful omen for 2017. So much info on Google. truly, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

Correction: quote from Jimi Hendrix: "when the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will 'know' peace". Amen
