THE PIZZAZZ OF JAZZ (Poem)

...the pizzazz of jazz has
syncopated rhythms
and melodic beats,
hand clapping -
finger snapping toe tapping harmonies that move my feet.
piano movements
that tickle my spine -
a perfect blend
that captures my mind -
but when the saxophone moans -
so do I - I get blue -
because jazz has pizzazz - but not as much as U.
