Jimi Hendrix

Electric poems reverberated, Within the walls of a London abode. A psychedelic haze fueled the gift, That a creative heart was bestowed. Far from his broomstick days, Passionate strums…electrified the room. Emphasizing the pain from within, Recalling the days he strummed the broom. Acid rock...illuminated the winding path, That led his creative heart to fly. Good intentions laced by corrosive thoughts, Inspired the work…from his daily supply. Guided by his artistic soul, The frets…fretted to that day. Captured by a recording device, Were the anthems…that we replay. What began in London ended in London, In the same lonely…workplace room. He was here that day, then gone the next, In the blink of an eye, he was gone too soon.
