SunKu 9

Blue skies
dark as night
jazz on my mind

can’t shake
disconnected
lingers inside

no gift
to sing jazz
I write the blues

Once again you have captured the Sunku way of writing.
Loved the music as it echoed around.

Thanks Ian

I trying to get. Just hope the way sticks in me. Lol I’ll forget when I start to write because I write from inspiration and spontaneity often. I’m reading and writing a lot so I can master the SunKu way without having to think about the way.

Hi Barbara,

Hi Barbara,

If I may suggest, since it seems that you prefer not to give a title to the Sunku, you may suffix it with a number or date as you may find befitting. Even if not, consider this as just a friendly suggestion and let it pass.

It is such a good experience reading your posts. Please keep posting. I read all of them.

Hugs and regards...
