Soothes My Soul

by June Sargent

Rhyming Poem Contest Winner 
As skies take on a purplish hue
and sun begins to fade from view,
I rush back home - my work is done.
For some their day has just begun.

With sirens blaring through the night,
I put on jazz and it's alright.
That saxophone can touch my soul
and mend all cracks to make me whole.

Its calming notes that float on air
will cleanse my mind of all despair.
New Orleans jazz is full of groove
that energizes me to move.

Through irritating city noise
I found a way to keep my poise.
Transcending any circumstance,
jazz sets me free so I can dance.

Contest Winner


Growing up near downtown Boston, I learned to deal with stress and all that city noise through music. Jazz is a form of music that is improvisational - going with the flow. And it soothed my soul by inspiring me to just go with the flow...
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
