The piano and 'jazz' gave that vibe too.

you're right. I remember one rainy Saturday afternoon spent in a piano bar while listening to Thirties Torch songs. I recall the pianist remarking, "just drifting, today.." We were :)

I only really started appreciating poetry this year, and I'm trying to develop mine, although I'm only good at rhyming poetry. This is really nice and imaginative

it's a journey for sure - you might also like what @tinajordan writes - there are many poets on steemit who never get noticed but they are writing lovely poems.
As for rhyming, most people come to poetry through listening to popular songs and they feel that a poem needs to rhyme to be musical. But what they don't realize is that poetry creates its own internal music and doesn't need a melody or a rhyme scheme to make it pleasing to the ear. Some effects are subtle and touch us and we're not even sure why, but believe me, there is a skill beneath the words that reaches us at an almost subconscious level :)

Yes, it certainly is a skill I would need to learn :-) I will check out @tinajordan. Thank you :-)

BTW, I began as a poet reading Robert Frost and emulating his style, but ended up being mentored by a Toronto poet, Raymond Souster, who wrote in a free verse style akin to William Carlos Williams, so that's why I said it's a journey :)

That's wonderful! I am doing an arts degree and I'm specialising in creative writing, so I need to get up to speed with poetry in different forms.
