27 Forever

This little girl blue life did take a toll Oh Janis, first lady of rock’n’roll Your ol’ kozmic blues are good for the soul A piece of our hearts you did sever Jim opened the door to the other side Eternally now, your storm to ride He told us the day does night divide A true poet so strange and clever Brian Jones rhythm love and livelihood Sought shelter in a 10,000 acre wood Gave the stones a name no one else could Start anew in afterlife endeavor An experience electric, not a passing craze The best there was in past and future days Jimi left behind this earth in purple haze A legacy more iconic there was never All apologies to Kurt for such unwanted fame Father of grunge may wish we never knew his name He told us never mind, but never was the same Nothing left in the way, 27 forever. Sept 8, 2022 27 Club Poetry Contest Referencing songs and lyrics by: Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Brian jones, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain Tribute to those poets gone too soon
