phoebe write your poetry and then when you're grown they'll leave you alone it's such a terrible crime you're next to nothing until you die, until you die some men never make it some men make it to the top still a poet never knows it no, not until he drops you can hang in there, momma write your soothing songs rock-n-roll to your music until the music's gone when it's all over then you're on, then you're on phoebe write your poetry and then when you're gone they'll acknowledge you (they always do) it's still a shame just the same honey, they just never do acknowledge you until you die no, not until you die There must be a poem in here somewhere. |

Not only is there a poem in there, there is also a song, just crying to be sung, in long plaintive notes, with a melody slow and bittersweet, and a voice of pure music married to a pan flute. Owl |

Ah, the unsung poets of the world here for the masses, but hiding in their closets unheralded and unappreciated. Intolerant people are the people who do not believe the way we want them to, which makes us intolerant by default.—July 26, 2010 |

You know Faith, this sings like a chorus.... "you can hang in there, momma write your soothing songs rock-n-roll to your music until the music's gone when it's all over then you're on, then you're on" It could very well be for some in the music world that became much more of a success after they were gone. It's sad but very true Faith and it's a wonderful piece you've penned here. Eric Love does not look after it's own interests. |

Hi, Eric...Thanks for your wonderful remarks. When I wrote this, I thought about making it into a song. I couldn't decide which part i wanted to use for the chorus so i left it as a poem. I have written some blues song lyrics though most of which have been published in a book out of Louisiana. I'll post one so you can give me your opinion on it if you would be so kind to do so.

This is an awesome poem. It is so true you never get acknowledged sometimes until you die. Quite sad if you think about it! But at least we poets know how good each other are. I truly enjoyed the read!!!! |
