Poem #10 for the November Poem-A-Day challenge. Today’s prompt was to write a love poem.
A Love Poem
John came
down
the
stairs
SMILING
holding A Love Supreme
Alice knew
it was a day
unlike other days
Jason, loved your poem because I love Trane. My first husband, still a friend, is a tenor man and I’m an old singer/songwriter and veteran of the jazz and blues scene, both as a singer and pianist.
A Love Supreme was played in our house like some people run NPR! Also Miles Ahead and a shitload of Billie Holiday and Etta James…
In a handful of words, you conveyed how a single song can turn the universe on its ear. Congrats.
