Numbers ~ P3-57 ~ For Mindful Poetry

Three cellos

Create a trio

Concert on the patio

Four voices join them

Skilled quartet

Sounds so heavenly

"Someone To Watch Over Me"

Ira Gershwin's song

Harmony

Five horns blow

A sultry quintet

Six saxes croon as septet

Smokes swirls round the bar

In 'Frisco

"The Purple Onion"

Drunken applause eruption

At trumpet solo

Miles Davis

Awesome, and you managed to get the numbers in. And Miles, too - I have to love it.

Granny Janny Apr 18, 2012, 1:41am UTC

Thanks, I'm glad you do. I thought yours was magnificent too.

George and Ira Gershwin! Gertrude Lawrence singing "Someone to Watch Over Me" to her rag doll in "Oh, Kay!" in 1926! Ahhhh. : )

Sonia M. Apr 17, 2012, 9:05pm UTC

oh, yes!

One of those evenings in the theater I wish I was alive for!

Granny Janny Apr 18, 2012, 1:01am UTC

What would I give to meet the brothers? DARN...I WAS BORN TOO LATE!

Andrea Grenadier Apr 18, 2012, 9:20am UTC

Me, too! Some friends in New York used to live right across the street from Gershwin house. One night, we were coming in pretty late, and looking across the street, my host said, "It's one o'clock in the morning! They'd just be getting started over at the Gershwin house!"

Just reading the words I was in a lovely trance then the picture was a melodic heaven.

Granny Janny Apr 18, 2012, 1:45am UTC

Priscilla...how I would love to share a lunch with you. How can we make this happen?

Priscilla P. Apr 18, 2012, 9:00am UTC

Virtually we are close, physically there is a distance issue. I would find lunch with you an enchanting idea

I found this form the most difficult yet.

Granny Janny Apr 18, 2012, 1:47am UTC

It turned out to click when I thought it might not.

Did you ever notice how when eating something yummy, say a super-big chocolate bar, the first few bites are heavenly, but by the time you reach the end, eh, it's getting a little old?

I have been reading P3-57s all evening and I am still struck by the beauty! Not old! Not hum-drum! Plus you referenced Willie Nelson's song. ;-) I'm aswoonin'

Counting on your P3-57 to add to the rest at Mindful Poetry.
