**harlem Blues! Comments

Hi Raj - lovely Poem full of pathos and passion just the right blend for a love poem. I was sad at the beginning but pleased that the 'Old Liquorish Stick'scored in the end. New York New York is the most amazing city in the world -all human life is there - there is only one Harlem and if we 'Whites' are prepared to blend in - we get excepted especially when we are older and spennd a few bucks - they don't like 'gawpers' so you have to mingle.V 1 PATHOS Exemplifies the lonliness of the long distance player. My eldest Grandaughter is a virtuoso clarinetist. At the end of verse one - one sees the price performers play for their art. V 2 PASSION. Just when it seemd like his night was going to be lonely 'Lady Luck' steps in and turns a mornful night into 'A Night to Remember'. that is magic of Hralem.. For every reason in my Poetry Manual - i score it a MAX. I was raised in Liverpool and we have Music in our veins instead of Blood! Yours in Poetry - JOHN

When you feel blue, go to Harlem.The midnight hour will redeem all your blues away.

Raj, I followed your poem tale, from one word to the next I read entranced, I could feel the music of the blues, smell the smokey bar, the picture you drew was so vivid. As a lover of jazz and blues, it brought back memories of good nights out listening to what i used to think of as the music of the night. Thank you for the memory and also this lovely story. Regards Bob
