Audrey Haick Poet Acrostic

Jimi Hendrix..Rock Star and Legend

J	imi, a talented guitarist
I	n the world of Rock
M	ade young girls cry 
I	n his world, how he shined!

H	ard wired to play
E	arly love for guitars
N	ever found Nirvana 
D	ying each day, endless pain
R	iding strings of his music	
I	n his mind, demons taunted	
X	iting  too soon, young legend!

Andrea Dietrich March 28, 2011 at 9:12 PM oh,my goodness, why did so many people do Jimi? But he sure made an impression on you all and your poem is fantastic, Annalise. Very cool acrostic. Congratulations.

Carol Sunshine Brown March 23, 2011 at 4:49 AM Congratulations on your well deserved win Audrey in Chris Matt's contest "Gone Too Soon". Love, Carol

Carolyn Devonshire March 22, 2011 at 8:36 AM Hendrix poured his heart into his music, Annalise, and I think you are right in saying he was "dying each day." He turned to drugs because he couldn't leave the Vietnam War behind him. Big congratulations on your wonderful win! Love, Carolyn
