My music taste's eclectic
most music soothes my soul
as long as it's electric
it's the muse that makes me whole

I like rap and jazz to celebrate
classics, hip hop, rock and roll
although I,  the lyrics mutilate
and I sing just like a Troll

There are things I can't do wrong
and  things I cannot be
encapsulated in one song
is very hard, you see

So I will choose a bevy
of  songs that I can mix
to highlight my great beauty
and if it's wrong,... please fix.

The first would have to be... "Sorry"
then "please forgive me" is my creed
it is a constant worry
that for re-assurance I must plead

The next would be Pink Floyd
but not "wish you were here"
and I think I would avoid
beer drinking songs of cheer

"Momentary lapse", best shows my fun
when manic or sincere
and I could be your "Sunny" one
or "Brandy" for a year.

"Ravel's Bolero" is my beat
and to it I will dance
while "Hot Town" is my summer's heat
when full blown with romance

But the thing that lifts me tall
that best portrays my complex waves
is not a song, or words at all,
it's a group called "Medieval Babes"

Kethry~
     You captured all my feelings to the core as well!  In fact I am right now losing myself in Pink Floyd's "Shine on You Crazy Diamond".  Good writing great illustration!

Hi Kethry...
             So glad to hear you like Pink Floyd!!!! How about the Moody Blues? Then there is Kitaro, who sounds a whole lot like PF.  Anyway......love your poem and it's music sings out to me....

Kethry I really like this, it's amazing, astounding and really great. I was going to put a load more gushing in but it's late, so I'll just say I REALLY LIKE THIS POEM.

Kethry...
         This is just a note to apologize for sticking a overly large gif in my original reply. It was too big, took too much time to load, and slowed down your posts. I thought it would be cute, but not at your poem's expense. I'm sorry...please accept my apology, as this poem deserves to be at the top!

Angelwings,
it's hard not to like Pink Floyd they have such style. My favourite song from them would have to be Us and Them my least favourite album is Umma Gumma (which I believe I could have done see verse 2 lines 3&4 for a reference)

Sunny1 Yeah I like Moody Blues and Radiohead, and REM and Stones, and Icehouse, and Frankie Goes to Hollywood and what's that really strange one oh yeah Elton John. I haven't heard Kitaro but will look out for him/her/them.
Marsha, you can gush on me anyday. Thanks.

Sven thanks for compliment. Glad to in a class with you.

Sunny1 Sorry your gif, got gifted off.

Kethry, I'm glad Kari called this back I can gush some more. I really love this one, I remember when I read it thinking I must put that in my library, and then I didn't. (Head like a sieve you know) So I will this time. I've written it on a post it and stuck it on the screen.
I remember Icehouse, they had one song that I adore, it's called Crazy, Oh how I love  that song.              
Take care
and thanks Kari for fetching this one

Kari, was this the challenge everyone's writing about or is there another. Thanks for bumping this and for the delightful comments.

Marsha, as I said before you can gush anytime. I love it when you get mushy.

be well
Kethry
