Notes About The Poem

So many stars have died since I wrote this poem in 1984, (Revised in 1998 and 2025). To many to list, but recently you had Lemmy, Eddie, Malcolm and Ozzy. It was one of my first attempts at poetry, I was trying to be more lyrical. I picked the ballad form that typically have lines c and f rhyming. Appears in my books "One of the Guise" and "Ripples"

Still in Memory

As fate will play its role 
And legend will tell
For super stardom and limelight
The greatest have fell
The Silver Screen, fortune and fame
Rock-n-roll will never die

From Janis to Jim
Bonham to Bon
They given us so much
Elvis to Lennon
Jimmi and Randy
They had the touch

Let's not forget 
Stevie and Kurt
Take a walk down that well beaten path
You're all still in memory
Hidden by Heaven's Par can lights 
Well see you in the past
