What are you really trying to say here?

Speak it!

You create...

... such a vivid experience in this piece, and on multiple levels. One can feel the utter sense of aloneness, and yet singularity. My favourite:

"Time is a mourning solitude in long drawled out intermissions"

While the whole poem creates an atmosphere reflecting back to the title, these are the words that strike a chord in me. ;)

Beautifully Blue(s)

What's not to like? (And Anon, you silly troll, it's called illustrated poetry--some things speak more than one way, yknow?).

The illustration and the poem are so complimentary--you've worked the slow bluesy magic of Miles's music into both the look of the illustration and sound of the words. And, well, it's jazz isn't it. :D

I like it

The flick and the poem marry together well. There is

something cold about the colors that really works. The

words ain't bad either.

A "Kind of Blue"...

perhaps the green too, a look at Davis' bluesy side, before Sketches of Spain and long before fusion there was blue. "So What" he said... yeah you got it, right here in blue and green... and blues.

Sorry

Perhaps reading this while sober is the wrong approach. Sorry.

Breathtaking

I don't know the music you write about... but the way you write about it somehow makes me feel it. I followed the link from your sig line because I liked the title. It's lovely. The colours are just beautiful. :)

Miles of Jazz...

Jazzbo-s of the world rejoice ~ a poem about one of our own. The ever great Miles Davis yesterday ~ today ~ and forever. As an old time Jazzbo I can dig this ~ the most! What a lovely melacholy illustration. So appropriate and so fitting.
