Urban Scene

lillian

jazz in the city
cello, saxophone, paper cone
playin’ for tips and the city dawgs

makin’ music
strummin’, blowin’, puffin’ too
flyin’ high with life

city nomad, gigs of the soul

WONDERFUL art by Claudia Schoenfeld, also one of the founders of dVerse, a poets’ pub. Could not resist writing a second sevenling to conincide with this great piece of art, Urbanity. A sevenling is composed of two tercets and one final line — and includes somehow an element of three in each of the tercets.

    I have seen them around the subway here and they play beautifully too. Love that final line, city nomad, gigs of the soul.

    Nice. I think I commented on another that had street musicians in it…there is a certain should that only they have and seems lost when it makes it to the stage…perhaps too much polish before the big crowd…i love street music and buskers though….

    Buskers – oh you brought them to life. I love how they play on the streets, just going for the music although the change is nice too. You captured this so very well.

    I do love the street musician sometimes.. sometimes it seems too intrusive… but that may be just me those times (or a bad musician)

      Had not thought of the ten “buskers” but thought immediately of the street musicians when I saw this painting and zoomed in on the details.
