Mississippi River Steamboat Cruises What Does The Poem Jazz Fantasia By Carl Sandburg Mean?

What does the poem Jazz Fantasia by Carl Sandburg mean? - mississippi river steamboat cruises

"Drum on the battery, the weight on his banjo, saxophone cry in the long and winding costs. Go ahead, O jazzmen

Sling your fingers on the bottom of the pots happy, let your clips mud, and go hushahusha-Hush with the slippery
Sandpaper.

Whine like a wind, fall back into the lonely tree, tops, low moan that you wanted to cry, someone awful, like a racing car
Escape from a motorcycle cop, bang, bang! jazz musicians, all bang drums, snares, banjos, horns, tin
Cans to make two people fight on a stairway and scratch your eyes fall into one of the embrace
Stairs.

Then, the raw material ... Now a Mississippi steamboat pushes upwards the river in the night with a hoo-hoo-hoo-oo ... and green
Lanterns on the stars of High ... a red moon rides on the gentle ridge of the river beneath ... Go, O
Jazzers.


The poem itself is
but I can not the meaning of life.
Help please?

For me, giving readings, the terrible mystery, I suppose that all the sounds of jazz musicians (probably New Orleans)
take it like a race car and two fighters raucus (on a scale, perhaps in a restaurant) on your account, and Mr. Carl Sandburg tell us what the owner says, "the raw material. (Note that it has a rhyme).
Then, after three points if it exists cause, or a steamboat, and sounds are the same as that of the jazz-uh, uh-oo, etc.
Green Lanterns can get unless they go away to say which side of the river, the boat must!? Luna Roja: October. You must be thrilled.

The poem describes a performance by a group of jazz musicians. Talk about what the sound of music and pictures on the music encourages the soul of the listener.
