"Blue Note Time"
in the soft jazz and midnight hour
your eyes are dancing close to mine
a sway of hips, a touch of lips
while on the stand
piano player's fingers
dance around the tune
above a gentle touch
caressing music from the bass
your fingers up and down my spine
in the soft jazz and midnight hour
we lose ourselves in bluenote time
Analysis of "Bluenote Time"
Adrian Green's "Bluenote Time" is centered around the blue note used in jazz and the blues, which are two genres of music. Blue note is a flatted note, especially the third or seventh note of a scale. It replaces an expected major interval.
In the poem, Green speaks about enjoying the experiences of this type of music with a partner. He uses words of touch to not only reveal their interactions, but he also inspires his audience to not just listen to music, but to "feel" it.
