DIZZY

napowrimo#22..using the word dizzy from the wordle prompt



DIZZY


making an Afro-Cuban jazz statement
with a spanish tinge
under his beret
and horned rimmed glasses
blowing through his crooked trumpet
with his turbo charged pouched cheeks
gusting up a hurricane
deep from his lungs
syncopated lightning bolts
of be bop
a little scat singing
with plenty of sense
Dizzy

That cat sure could blow.

Nice work.

I hadn't thought of Dizzy Gillespie! This made me smile. He was a cool cat, a friend was making a documentary about him, and the morning of the night he was in town to play, my friend got a phone call, "Hey, this is Dizzy..."

Sadly, I'm not a jazz fan but I enjoy it in your poems!

I wondered how he got his cheeks to blow up so big when he would play. Do you know?

Diz is a favorite. I still love watching his old performance clips, and this brought him back to life.
