Bluesman Comments

Great poem. I like poems about the blues. It is such an artistic and heart felt music so bringing poetry to that stage only makes sense.

Great poem..conjures up a vivid image of bluesman Jack

He took him to places he'd never been He took him back With the sweet sound of home He took him To where he had grown A lovely poem.

I love a good blues. Imaginative.

loved this piece... because I love the blues myself.

not my favorite on PH, but obviously from the glance at some other comments, it was appreciated. i will gladly put it into my April (or March) 'Showcase', but i await your answer to the message i'm about to send to you. thanks for sharing. bri :) my favorite stanza: He's just Any old man In any old bar With a guitar

WOW! This is superb! What drama, what truth, the art of poetry serving the art of the blues, and both are enhanced by this union. I remember during his performance many years ago, Taj Mahal telling us the Blues can't be defined, only experienced, but the one thing the Blues always is - is sweet. I've never forgotten that. People applauded after he said it, and then he said, Now I'm going to prove it to you. Your poem is another proof of that truth, and it needs no further comment. The experience of reading it is totally fulfilling.

Nicce! ! A beautiful story that tells a story within a story

Beautiful spit and sawdust write of truth reality and those glorious blues.. I'm not a specific follower of any music style I appreciate all types but blues and vino seem the perfect company to enduce tears of respect and nostalgia..Thank you for sharing Karen :)
