BIX
by Paul Curtis Leon Bismark "Bix" Beiderbecke (March 10, 1903 August 6, 1931) It was said of Bix That his Cornet spat out notes Like shooting bullets at a bell And his solos sounded as sweet As a girl saying yes. Bix Beiderbecke was simply the best He was at the birth of hot music His light illuminated The jazz age His Cornet accompanied The roaring twenties He was a romantic legend, The young man with a Horn But in keeping with the character Of the very best of youth His flame burned very brightly But equally it burned quickly And like the most beautiful star He burned himself out All too soon Bix lived for the jazz But died for the booze I am a fifty something family man with a passion for writing and I draw inspiration from those around me. paul.curtis1956 @ btinternet.com http://www.dreamagic.com/poetry/poetry.html http://www.peculiar-poetry.com/ Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
