my feet are tapping to the thrumming
beat of Louis singing to a glorious beat
yellow bursts then rainbow colours
puff like energy through my body
the joyful colour of greens and blues
he brings bursts of joy in multiple hues
music transcends all race and religions
it captures vitality and communicates
without need of words as it paints
our lives with tangerine and green
splintered with yellow and sparkles
let’s sing and dance with diversity
d’Verse, synesthete music as colour, Grace

I love the poem and photo, Kate. I also like the choice of jazz music to write about. Louis Armstrong was a colorful guy! ❤

Music is a portal that can send us so many places, all diverse and colorful! The Cheesecake song made me smile, hadn’t hear that one!

I think Louie has a voice the color of gravel!! The cheese cake might change that a little!
Very nice Kate! Music makes the world go round for sure!
