Our Last Jazz Note Poem by Cheryl Lynn Moyer Peele

Our Last Jazz Note

Rating: ★5.0


Like a beloved child with aids
New Orleans' soul passed on.
In denial, a nation prayed
it wouldn't happen, then
that it wasn't so.

Katrina, that angry woman
purged our primeval soul,
tested our very humanness,
then piously exhaled
our last jazz note.
