Woodland Jazz Poem by Wild Bill Balding

Woodland Jazz

Rating: 4.8


The groundbass of the roaring roadway
is overlaid by the rhythmic rustle of leaves,
topped by a syncopated pigeon,
the growl of a farmer sawing,
the soaring oboe of a microlight above.
The sun sends a spotlight in the clearing
to shine upon the star -
a graceful magnolia standing silent,
one stage-struck, slimly shimmering stem,
uncertain, unwilling to take centre stage solo
and the credit for the piece.
