Poem About the Rockers

Cutting through the consciousness of the U.S.A. Children of Chuck Berry and Elvis Girls gyrating wildly in the corners of the space While the odor of beer fills the room My ears are full of sound And I jump up and down Glad I came to this place! The noise drowns my sorrow So who cares about tomorrow? This poem was inspired by Chuck Berry's song "Hail. Hail Rock and Roll"

I am a big fan of classic and modern rock music. I still listen to those greats like Chuck Berry, Elvis, and Buddy Holly. Their music takes me to a much more innocent and fun place in time.... I'm so glad that I chose to read this poem. I really enjoyed it! Great work, Matthew!

this is really cool, because it reflects probably why so many enjoy rock music. We can drown our sorrow in it.
