Poem: Mister Saxophone Man

8/5/2014

Mister Saxophone Man

By K.C. Wallace

Saxophone

Play those dark notes blue
Mister Saxophone Man;
inflame the belly in my soul,
E flat, G sharp, B flat minor me--
let the good times roll.

Blow hard Mister Saxophone Man,
tell the truth
don’t hide the news.
Low down Bass notes
puncture my heart,
don’t deceive,
play me the blues.

Tell me Mister Saxophone Man:
are the blues real,
or just a lie?
Do you really feel the pain of the ancestors,
in your syncopated lines?

Don’t stop howling Mister Saxophone Man,
speak loud when silence is heard.
Mellow notes
plunder me,
make my heart beat groan.

Got the rhythm Mister Saxophone Man,
I know what’s going down.
Bebop, hip-hop,
and my blue suede shoes.
It’s the blues,
Just telling me the truth.

How to Setup Solar

Step 1. Create a Homepage

Even if you already have a home page, you'll need to create a new one since Solar needs a blank page to automatically pull and display your blog posts in the magazine layout. You can create a new homepage by going to "Pages" at the top, click on the "+" icon and select "Standard" page.

Step 2. Apply "solar" Page Layout

Once you create a new homepage, apply the "solar" page layout to the new homepage. You can do this by clicking on "Pages" at the top, select the homepage on the left, and under "HEADER TYPE", select "solar".

Step 3. Create A Blog

If your site doesn't have a Weebly "Blog" page, then create a new "Blog" page. You can do this by clicking on "Pages" at the top, click on the "+" icon and select "Blog Page".

Step 4. Setup Blog Automation

Come back to this screen and fill in the input boxes with the URL of your "Blog" page and 3 category URLs from that blog.
