Notes About The Poem

Guess who poetry contest

Guess who

Born into a band of heavenly bliss
he wrote about territorial piss
One song so deep it dripped from ceilings 
liked to eat fish, coz they have no feelings?

Married a madwoman her name was (Love)?
drug addict too, no angel from above 
The friends in his head made him so happy 
lithium he took was oddly crappy

A screaming voice of boiling hot gravel, 
didn’t take long for life to unravel 
Swore blindly that he never had a gun 
some lyric, considering what he done 

Came as he was, doused in mud, steeped in bleach, 
Jesus-like guy, just one that couldn’t preach!

Candide Diderot June 1, 2024 at 4:40 AM There's always a survivor/s from carwrecks like that, let us hope this one surpasses the lifespan and lifestyle of both; yet, still something potent from both of them remains in the genes. David Kavanagh June 1, 2024 at 5:37 AM Thanks Candide, Kurt was my all time hero, I was being truthful here, just like he was, and I agree Frances is the survivor of this particular tragedy, thanks for the links, cheers David Candide Diderot June 1, 2024 at 4:41 AM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C92ZAKhEsYE Candide Diderot June 1, 2024 at 4:40 AM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uynk7OqBLFA

I Am Anaya March 14, 2024 at 11:01 AM I can hear his songs as I read, (no I don't have a gun) Bleach a dead give-away....saw him in concert! Well-done. David Kavanagh March 14, 2024 at 2:00 PM I know he was still trying to sue them up to a couple of years ago, it’s all water under the bridge now lol! I Am Anaya March 14, 2024 at 1:44 PM A tale of fish and their unfeeling dealings. In the hidden depths, they swam free, Where emotions dissolved, lost in the sea...a real poet! The baby on the cover wasn't too happy, lol. David Kavanagh March 14, 2024 at 11:15 AM Hopefully Marge seen him too, and knows who I’m on about, you are so lucky to have seen them in concert, still number 1 on my playlist after all these years, I’m sure you got my allusion in the first stanza to the melancholic (something in the way) too, cheers David

Lin Lane March 13, 2024 at 2:26 PM I've no blooming idea of who he is, but he sounds like a peach, as long as he doesn't preach. Lin Lane March 13, 2024 at 6:26 PM ;-) maybe... David Kavanagh March 13, 2024 at 2:52 PM Ha! Don’t worry Lin not everyone will know this guy, but he made a huge impact worldwide in the early 90s, with his amazing songs and lyrics, not to everyone’s taste, as you can see from my allusions, Hey wait a minute are you playing me with that word blooming??? oh you are clever, cheers David
