Matthew Anish Poet I do not know?

Dr.John In the Morning

A little too early in the day
to listen to 
  this New Orleans "fonk"
   I must wake up  - 
and after all isn't 
  he dubbed "The Night Tripper"?
he rocks on 
   through the years
Poor New Orleans
   it fell prey 
to nature's wiles
   It must have been "the right place - wrong time"!

Mohammad Yamin August 30, 2008 at 7:37 AM Hi Matthew! This is an elegant poem - very well written. Although Dr. John is still a riddle for me I must admire your work and sypathise with New Orleans. May be one day I visit New Orleans from Europe. Thanks for your comments on my poem Rewards of Love and for liking its last line. Best wishes! -Mohammad

Sharon Winter August 2, 2008 at 12:25 PM Love Dr. John! And yes, pretty much repeating Kristin's comment, but poor New Orleans. Let's hope it comes back full blast. Love, Shar

Kristin Reynolds August 2, 2008 at 5:36 AM It's always the right time to listen to Dr. John, my dear! Always ready to do the funky monkey with the good Dr! Awesome write, and yes, poor New Orleans...such a shame. Love Kristin
