TromboneChat

Hello, does anyone know any poets who also play trombone or poems written about trombone?

Thank you!

I recently got into writing poetry as a coping mechanism. It’s unusual but absolutely fantastic for me mentally.

On other notes I got commissioned to write a libretto by a local composer, which is pseudo-poetry.

Either of those count?

Steve Swell the trombonist writes poems.

There once was a man from Nantucket
Who carried his "bone" in a bucket.
He whipped it out fast
And left them all jazzed,
Then told the trombonists to "suck it!"

You chose the trombone.
None shall love you or despair.
Your friends are the damned.

(Haiku: 3 lines, 5-7-5 syllables.)

Here's a classic. Not a poem, but an essay everyone should read once.

This is the best thing i read in a while!

Roses are red,
violets are blue.
funny bone
meet slide 'bone.

Paul Taylor, trombone poet

The intro, plus that Gandhi-lookalike prompter bust in the back, i thought this must be Ivor Cutler territory. But then the music started and ... i needed to run to work
