dark night, red light
Sargent, John Singer, A Dinner Table at Night, 1884
dark night, red light
dark night
red light
saxophone hums
days of films
nights of jazz
steady neon haze
simple-role playing
it’s a date
plan the air
thicken the stage

Verification wastes my time, and often doesn't work. I am going to stop commenting on pages that require verification one of these days.

you really caught the mood in this painting.
a little role playing can lead to quite the excitement you know…smiles.
Haha… and what else were they going to get up to in the dark, sultry night, I wonder. Reminded me of New Orleans for some reason. (The Jazz maybe)
The ambience is perfect, just lead the way! Great write Tammy!

P/S Your comment was kind to the guy! I’ve decided to amend it a little at the end. Thanks
Oh, yes. Straight out of a 1940’s / ’50s set. Smokin’!
You set the mood well. I enjoyed hearing you read it too!
cool and jazzy.
I like the thicken the stage….you captured the mood of this ~
I liked both the painting and poem … with voice. And yes, nothing like a late night at a jazz club. Sax … Coltrane anyone?
Coltrane would be perfect. I love the “mood indigo” you’ve created here, Zongrik. (Duke Ellington). Sounds like a night out! Thank you for sharing this. =D
I like this ” planning the air ” concept, Zongreco !
I like it … especially the “jazz.” I did a painting (1963) once titled “The 5 Spot.” The 5 Spot was Thelonius Monk’s place in the Viilage. My painting was abstract done in reds and purples. You words make me think of it.
I love that you included music…. “saxophone hums” Sounds so soothing
Loved hearing you read it…also loved how you heard music in the painting…Nice work!
I love “plan the air, thicken the stage”…
I can hear the saxophone…
=)
Ths captured a mood hinted at by the painting, but transposed into a later time of red lights. jazz, saxophones. Well done.
…and what an interesting stage it is I’m know! I can even hear the music flowing….
Oh, oh, oh I enjoyed this! Could sink right into the mood, the music, the night.
Nice. Mood, phrasings, the tech you used to bring it all to life…I enjoyed it♫
Want to snap my fingers.

Simple and nice.
Dear friend,
You are a very talented writer. You touched my emotions. Thanks for sharing.
Such a pretty painting. So realistic… I love it
Cool sophistication …..
You really ‘wove the mood’ so effectively. (I sometimes enjoy listening to smooth jazz when I write.) Peace! 🙂
I like this alot! Can hear it…loud and clear and neon!
