You wafted in on transistor radio close to my ear, I heard you over the whine whispering Cherry, Cherry in my ear and later singing Red, Red Wine. All of my friends were excited when you sang Sweet Caroline on the radio because if one didn’t catch it all it sounded like my name, you know. And when you came out with Holly Holy I thought it was for me solely. Then I wanted to travel along when Brother Love broke out in song. Cracklin’ Rosie was a mystery to me but I liked the lyrics anyway. And when the early 70’s came on by I Am I Said put a beam in my eye. I stumbled through life then, my story is true and then you came out with Song Sung Blue, and I thought I could make it through. Because every garden has one. But soon my life reverberated with You Don’t Bring Me Flowers and it was as if it illustrated all of my life that had gone sour. Love on the Rocks held me for awhile Hello Again brought back my smile. Then I met a wonderful man who made a Beautiful Noise and tho not a Kentucky Woman, I gained some poise. Surviving the Life swept me along and I Thank the Lord for the Night Time for my man can Walk on Water and I’ll keep Longfellow Serenade as mine. Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, then speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

You do bring back musical memories so beautifully in this woderful poem. My husband is a great fan of Neil Diamond so he will enjoy this one when I read it to him. I was humming the melodies as I was reading this poem. Thank you so much for posting it. A wonderful tribute to Mr. Diamond Liz |

Kari, this is brilliant, loud cheering from me, yes love ever noisy, I don't think I can do very quiet. (Would you believe I once worked in a library, it was the longest 3mths of my life). This is so great I've always been fond of Neil Diamonds music, and this brought it all back to me. Love this one Kari, encore, give me an encore. Please! Take care Majestic Mushy Marsha  Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |
