If You Could See In Me

If you could see, the inside of me What would you view, that you would want to see For inside of me for any given year Is loaded with music, it's my driven steer Whether it's Rock with Deep Purple Or Wish You Were Here with Pink Floyd Inside my head Music fills my brain void Karnataka to Mostly Autumn Thin Lizzy through the years That's the way it is by Bruce Hornsby His keyboard play brings my tears But I can be rough and ready And tank up the amps Coloured Blind by Skin Leaves me racially in thanks Whole Lotta Love Should be out there in force Music should be in us It's a matter of course Close your eyes to the melody Hey! it's the Moody Blues When they played Red Rock What gem would you choose To answer your question What has the past year brought Another year of learning Air guitar sought Apart from seeing my kids prosper Music avenue is my world And watch them grow into their tomorrows I have so much to be heard http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/music-3.php

Really cool thoughts on your passion for music , James. Most of these you mentioned were not my own cup of tea. I go more for the simple pop rock. Anyway, I think you are very musically aware and it shows in this poem. Luv, Andrea

A good ode to classic rock music. I can see why this was chosen to be among the winners in the contest.

I too, James, plan to share this with my nephew Thomas. He has formally left school now and is beginning his career as a musician. He will enjoy this very much. ps. I'm not surprised you are a fan of 'Wish You Were Here' and The Moody Blues. You write as though you would be.

Hey, nice construction here. It just seems that the rhyme is forced sometimes and the poem loses its heartfelt touch. Keep it up!
