Hello Michael,
Though I am not as familiar with jazz music and performers
as you, I love the theme of this "Shaded Differently" ; with
the most intriguing music vid included. Brings more depth
and feeling to your eclectically presented verse, enhancing
gorgeous picture all the more. You have unique musical taste; Hope you do more like this.
this was most enjoyable read and listening.
Always, Ronni

I liked the way the picture you selected resonated with the first stanza and its repeat at the end. Your weaving in sound and music is very effective. Happy Sunday and the beginning of Spring- Joan

This one is easy to praise -- great jazzy riffs, with Coltrane and Miles for company . It doesn't get much better than that. The imagery works all the way through. "essence shadowed in song" is a great line.

I rarely play the soundtracks, but this one is a real beauty. With it in the background, your poem in the foreground and nascent dawn tinged soft coral grey - what a way to start Sunday morning. Your lines have the delicate softness of the piano backing, each falling like a drop of nectar on the subconscious. "mystery your way butterflies", "swoon does the swan beautiful", "essence shadowed in song". Wow! Makes me glad to be alive.
