Notes About The Poem

This country song was later recorded by Whitney Houston for the movie BodyGuard and became a huge pop hit.

Country - Pleiades


  country tunes began as
      cowboy western music . . . 
  cacophonic at times
          cadence melancholy . . . 
  crossed over into pop_
                 captivating lyrics
       conversion and rebirth_

WoW! BW, This is a good entry for the contest. I enjoy Country Music. Dolly Parton sang this I’ll Always Love beautifully. Whitney Houston covered it and took the song to new heights. I think you’ve yourself into the winners circle. Best wishes in the contest. Have a wonderful day:-) Alexis
