This is great. I like the use of minimal punctuation, it adds to the impactful simplicity of the poem. The imagery is great, too. I noticed no errors. Nice work!

Excellent. I see you were raised in a great state. Michigan has always been my home. As far as I am concerned, there is no place lovelier than Michigan. Anyhow, this is a beautiful poem. I love the artwork. Good job.

This was an interesting poem. I liked the soft tones and you topic of blue to the contrast of the great Monarch. You captured the title well in each stanza with your descriptive comparisons.

Hi Michael,

This piece flows really well. Love the pic and the music! The following stanza is so perfect for your music association:

easy music soothsayer
all that jazz
billowed cotton dressed

azure clarifies you
open sky bluesy
mystery your way butterflies


Excellent work!

Kim

Hi Michael, I'm glad I waited to read this...I like some of the changes you made...
I love you
like a father holds a daughter
cradled rock Christ

RGStar is right when he says you are unique in your own wording...
no others could write with such beauty...such feeling...

I love the wording in your poem...

thirsty drink waterfall
swoon does the swan beautiful
saturated wet in life

beautiful is the color blue...reminds me of Pam...
very nicely written...love you Linda xxoo

Miles Davis...Hugh Masakela...Stanley Turentine..Billie Holiday..The Blues ..and all that jazz..This is very soothing and your poetry is full of symbolism and delightful imagery. 130 people have listened? Butterflies..shades of blue metamorphosis.

Hi Michael, this is so beautiful, my dear friend. So much of it is pure poetry. Azure skies, butterflies, (sigh) waterfalls, swans, saturated wet with life...(magical) I love you...Like a father holds a daughter...Oh, Michael that is precious. The background of music sets it perfectly. Michael, this is my type of poem, my way of thinking. I just love it. I have another of your poems in my bookcase, a special one, this one will go with it. I love you, my special friend. Sandy. xxx

You swooned me with this jazzy taste and it was sweet. Pulling out the old greats was an added touch to this piece, it dances with a slow swing, capturing the jazz lover's ear. So nice of you to grace us with a fine tune of written artistry. Although a deserving six, I have to grace it with five and my own added plus. Thanks for the mood!

Your notebook form, reverse syntax is to be admired if taken the time to understand and delve into what you are saying. I always ready myself with anticipation when opening your work, for I know I will get something different with a deeper meaning. I relish the challenge.

This may seem to some that the syntax is not as it should be, but I know different as I, by now, am familiar with the style...and it is by far , your own...something all authors should aspire to.

A strong sense of blue in this one, the colour so important, both for the theme and mood of the work. I like the way you have incorporated Jazz and its players in strengthening the tone and mood of the ''blues''

You have my six stars, my friend.
Have a great Sunday.

My best wishes,
RG
