Double 8

by

Md Cooks

A rhythm of eighty-eight,
Soft yet loud,
A movement of time,
On staccato, on swing,
For a harmony, black and white,
In a key of universal love,
Countering a phrase,
To the point upon the beat,
Underlying melody,
Improvised on the voice,
Within a ballad of the blues.

Syncopated structure,
Another eighty-eight,
Rhythmic on the swing,
To the downbeat of the soul,
As sweet as the bop,
That is hot on the cool,
Dancing with the rhythms,
Orchestral as blue,
In time, on rag,
Harmonic and majestic,
All in eighty-eight.
