Evening Music Plays 

Carl Setzer

The saxophone plays

I picture women, dancing

With suit clad men

Echoes from the Beats

And their Bebopping 

Friends

Ed Sheeran’s “Castle On The Hill”

Carl Setzer

Ed Sheeran has not been terribly exciting to me. However, his song, Castle On The Hill delights me deeply.

It’s opened me up to exploring more of his music.

What do you think?

Gregorian Chant

Carl Setzer

Gregorian chant

Reaches deep within my soul

Carries me upward

When I hear Iz Sing

Carl Setzer

Every time

I hear Iz sing

“Over The Rainbow”

I’m filled

With delight

And quiet

Sadness
