Notes About The Poem

Diminished hexaverse is built upon 5 stanzas. The 1st stanza contains 5 lines, the 2nd has 4 lines, the 3rd 3 lines, the second 2 lines, and the final stanza contains a single word. Each line of the first stanza can contain 5 syllables, since there are 5 lines in that stanza. The third stanza can only have 3 syllables per line across the 3 lines. And of course, the last stanza must contain a one-syllable word only.

Dedicated to Elvis Aron Presley & his twin brother Jesse Garon Presley Elvis Presley's twin brother, Jesse Garon, was stillborn, which deeply affected Elvis throughout his life. While there are conspiracy theories suggesting that Jesse may have survived and been used as a body double, these claims lack substantial evidence. Elvis often expressed feelings of guilt and loneliness regarding Jesse's death, which influenced his music and relationships. 1/8/35—8/16/77

 

 

Mirrored

You were born with me 
there were two of us
we were side by side
once upon a time
wished on a star

Both now with mom 
she holds you tight
gives you a kiss
every night

Reflections
your spirits
together
 
brothers
again

Twins

An exciting, lavish portrayal of Elvis and other rock n roll idols of the time in addition to giving credit to gospel music for being an important foundation for rock n roll. Elvis The Pelvis
