As the Jazz Plays

A poem written for our Jazz themed prom (2011)

Travel back in time
To a place filled with music
Hear the tune’s rhythm and rhyme
As the jazz plays

Walk the streets
And see men playing brass
Can’t help but tap a beat
As the jazz plays

Moving, Swaying, Dance Away
The night is ours to have
“Listen to the music” they say
As the jazz plays
