Hi there 🙂
Today I had another little Googling marathon to do in order to wrestle the Jimpix words into a poem. But it is always educational!
From Jimpix
I did not know what I was going to do with ‘kern’, and at first thought this would work; but I then looked at the preceding word, and stumbled upon the composer instead! Very helpful 😀
‘Salisbury’ has a few possibilities, but I approached it from the music angle – and found they have a Jazz Club!
‘Tia’ is (as you probably know) short for ‘thanks in advance’, but I decided it would fit better as a name in this poem (and definitely not as a type of stroke…)
So, with a wee road map appearing, I wrote my piece!
Fitting Jazz Kern Would Forceful Tia Murmur Salisbury Pine
It was fitting that, as I walked in,
The Jazz band were playing ‘Yesterdays’
(My favourite Kern composition)
I looked around for the usual lurkers,
Hoping one of them would toss me a drink.
The hangover had been particularly forceful;
And Tia’s voice even more so.
As the Saxaphone’s murmur and caress
Made me thankful Salisbury is anything but plain,
I threw back my first shot;
And my heart began to forget how to pine
For lost loves and dreams.

I am not a follower of Jazz myself (though ‘Montaffera’ and ‘Comfy Restless’ would probably fit right into the scene?) but I learned about the piece’s history here, heard it here, and I like it!
I was a bit sad, when I was Googling ‘jazz kern’ and came across a Facebook page for a dead dog 🙁 but, all in all, I had a good session with my generator nemesis today! Thanks Jimpix!!
And thank YOU for reading 😉
