For Robert James Liquori's Glenn Hughes poetry contest.

I used 21 titles from Trapeze songs in the Pantoum form.

 

'You are the music', the guitar strings of my favourite song. Your lyrics 'touch my life,' as you are the twin to my soul. What 'am I' without you, when all melodies sound so wrong. I'll never question 'what is a woman's role' in rock and roll. Your lyrics touch my life, as you are the twin to my soul. My 'midnight flyer' your spirit glows like a 'seafull' of stars. I'll never question what is a woman's role in rock and roll. When life 'makes you wanna cry' we can create memoirs. My midnight flyer your spirit glows like a seafull of stars. When you 'send me no more letters,' I'll ignore the post. When life makes you wanna cry we can create memoirs, I'll follow your footsteps, roaming from 'coast to coast.' When you send me no more letters, I'll ignore the post, wondering 'will our love end,' before the ultimate vow. I'll follow your footsteps, roaming from coast to coast, until you serenade about 'feelin' so much better now.' Wondering will our love end, before the ultimate vow, 'it's only a dream,' but you get 'nothin' for nothing,' until you serenade about feelin' so much better now. 'Your love is allright' when your muse is soft and loving. It's only a dream, but you get nothin' for nothing. It hurts 'way back to the bone' when you leave me alone. Your love is allright when your muse is soft and loving. 'Black clouds' fade to white when I hear your sweet tone. It hurts way back to the bone when you leave me alone. I feel like a 'loser' playing solo to a 'jury' of 'back street love.' Black clouds fade to white when I hear your sweet tone. I ain't 'keepin' time,' but it's just 'another day' of grey skies above. I feel like a 'loser' playing solo to a 'jury' of 'back street love.' What 'am I' without you, when all melodies sound so wrong. I ain't 'keepin' time.' but it's just 'another day' of grey skies above. 'You are the music', the guitar strings of my favourite song.

You've done this form astoundingly dear Silent. Music is the soul's soothing cream and love's Alibi. I wonder what I'll do without it. Nothing, not even sleeping. "I feel like a 'loser' playing solo to a 'jury' of 'back street love.' Black clouds fade to white when I hear your sweet tone." We think clearly when we listen to the one we love and spend time with them. It's a forever cherished feeling. Poetry and music is a soul thing and I love both so much. Best wishes.

Dear Silent One, I had to read your poem because I enjoy anything that is about music. I really enjoyed how you artistically inked that music can help us when we miss our loved ones. Music can improve our emotions in almost any situation. Good luck in the contest! - Blessings, My Friend, Daniel
