POET’S STAGE - A Forum for Local Poets THE BEST The best music I ever heard was in an alley tail end of a three-day party. He was black mojo, wine spiked with sunshine, man. He exploded on a finger slidin’ guitar. He was so far out He was in, you know, harmony. So sweet a melody So sweet to be so free. A sound so groovy it set us moving, A laughing and a dancing in the flickering firelight. The best music I ever heard were two people singing in harmony communing with no harm to me or any one. The best music I ever heard was a bird. – Steve Genoway, Prescott, AZ © 1990 The best music I ever heard was in a forest by the campfire tree. Among the richest of the poorest we sat in a circle comparing ourselves deeply, so completely when, so sweetly, a soft hum-de-hum from behind a stump came a harmonica so smooth it made me move. The Prescott Country Club News Monthly magazine will be featuring local poets and we would like your poetic submission. Email to [email protected] pccnews July 2017 19
