Sad woman's Blues

It was on a Friday
at the Vibezelect Cafe.
Just me, myself & I
til my boys came and
said hi.
D'angelo's sound had me feelin'
down.
When it was over, a diva
with mocha latte color skin
with a drop of Latin flavor
with some soul flavor to savor
came to the stage.
Her voice takes the lead, cello,
bass, piano and drums follow.
she sang with passion and her
fashion rang through the place.
Her style has put a smile on
my face.
Her blues were a story of a week
she went through with love, heartache
and what she did for the sake of
her heart.
Trumpet takes the lead tune and stirs up
emotions like a wave of an ocean.
It was like poetry, it had such
beauty.
As it was over, my spirits
went from higher to lower.
I realize that I can relate to the mocha
colored Latin angel
with the blues of a sad woman.

You certainly painted a vivid picture with your words. I felt as if I were sitting in the same room, experiencing the music and the moods.
The only editing note I would add is that your verb tenses change throughout the piece. You might want to tighten those up.
Thanks again for a great reading experience.
D'angelo's sound had me feelin'

Are you insinuating D'angelo was there singing, or was the stereo playing his song? Just a little blurb to clarify this would help.

her heart.
This part was written a little out of style from the rest of the poem, it just doesn't flow like the other parts.

Hmm, I don't like this simile. Got anything original to spin
your individuality into this piece? ![]()

I would try to find a different color to describe her, as you have used mocha previously. Angel is a bit of a cliche'd word. Last part, I dunno why, but I think it sounds better without the use of woman. "with the blues of a sad soul/heart."
I would make sure your tenses line up through the poem,
too.![]()
Great piece, I only wish I could see more of -your- style in it. It seems like an ordinary poem about a woman right now.
Hope my comments helped! ![]()
Hi.
I dont have anything to critique, I really liked that .
It was vivd in description. You took me back in time, a time I would have liked very much. It felt amazing.,..The smoky jazzy/ blues place to be. . Nice work.
Thank you



This is a great work in which you have painted a picture of a jazz-like scenario! I thought this was tight and it gave me further interest in reading it! This piece of poetry reminds me of jazz and soul singers vocalizing in a night club in the 1960s. You have created a great poem with this kind of poetry that you have written. I give this rating a 10 out of 10 as far as the poem went for creatvity. This was an excellent work guaranteed! Keep writing and you will soon become a master of this class of literature! I hope to hear from you sometime with your poems and (If you want to do this) short stories! Good luck on becoming a famous poet with this piece!
