Poem -
" LAEL "
She glows, beneath the awning on State Street
Tapping her fingers to the timing across white linen
As the cool breeze ~ carries cool jazz
As if Dizzie's horn was playing just for her...
The simple, driving drumbeat depicting
An old and welcome, razz-a-matazz
Like a long lost friend was there
Running Charlie Parker through her hair....
Passersby could not help but notice
The coolness in her demeanor
Man, if you could have seen her
Like Marilyn Monroe was there.....
She's a study in all that bodes well
As cool as my guitar
Her name,
Was but a whisper,
A rhythmically perfect,
Lael....
Tony Taylor. (Chicago)

T what's happening? I like the name you have chosen for your mysteriously jazzy woman, it's very unique. I tell you what, im going to read again and I guarantee this will roll of the tongue like it did the first time. There is something absolutely sexy about a woman who is passionate about music and knows her shit lol. I really dug this Daddy-O. Peace.
Hey Thanx DEVON!!........I was walking down State Street today......... the music was there........ she was there........ and as I walked by......... the poem was born.......... couldn't wait to get home to write it down.......I mean it wrote itself as I was walking home thinking about the moment I caught her eye........ wow!........ easy to write when something like that happens!!............thanx for this Daddy-O!!.........Love and Rockets!!............T xo
That is why im a little new school but completely grateful for a phone with a memo to write as I travel. When in the moment and with our ever churning minds you never know when words will strike you or an idea that just sounds so awesome it has to be written, and for me at times if I don't get something if not all I will forget later and have nothing.
Hey Thanx DEVON!!.......that's why I carry a little black notebook in my back pocket everywhere I go...........gotta take those notes........because , like you say, if you don't catch that moment of inspiration...........you for get a LOT later!!...........thanx again for checking this out!!..........peace bro!.........T xo
