Ms Jacquii,
When first I read this, I felt like I didn't do the poem justice. Like Ms FaSha said, its cool, smooth also. For me also, I noticed, when I was reading it silently, my right foot was tapping on my hardwood floor. Then I went back and read the poem aloud, still foot tappin'. That was it for me. It's seems to have a tempo to be read out loud, maybe a little jazz paino playing in the background---saloon yeah. I could actually imagine his expression as he is playing his piano playfully (Oh Lawd, tongue twister) , and smile hardy. Like on his Canadian stamp. The structure and pattern of the stanzas work very nicely with this story-telling kind of feel poem, This was hot!!!!!
Much Luv'...~*Painted Diary*~
