Etta Poems | Examples


Etta Dunkin

She said she could not condone it
Nor could she even postpone it
So come what may
It makes her day
To feast upon an hot doughnut!

Inspired By Etta James

Something told me it was over
When I saw you and him talking
Something deep down in my soul said, cry boy
When I saw you and that man, walking arround
I would rather, I would rather go blind girl
Than to see you, walk away from me woman, and all
So you see, I love you so much
That I don't want to watch you leave me baby
Most of all, I just don't, I just don't want to be free no uh uh

Inspired by the beautiful words of Etta James but conjured by the essence of my soul

Too be without in this world I am blind
Lost to the sight of true love that sense I have no more

I don't wanna be free not captured not held not contained
In this cold world free is alone and alone caused me so much pain

I cry not for what you were but what you are still to me
Crying because my life not is not complete but happier than completely without you would ever I be.

Etta james poured her heart out and beautifully mine did receive inspiration to express my love liked or not unto thee

I'm hopeless, I'm unhealthy, I'm whatever sounds good I'm just not crazy because my heart loves you just like it should.

Take me deep into the night
Give your soul felt feelings sight
Comfort me, make my heart light
As I embrace your vocal plight

Sitting alone in my bedroom chair
Forgetting all of my worldly cares
Close my eyes, you're standing there
Disrobing my conscience, completely bare

In your voice I feel your pain
Food for thought left not in vain
Telling my story in each refrain
There are no rules to this sad game

Carry me to our special place
Strum your words across my face
Dry my tears, leave not a trace
Revive those dreams I've laid to waste

You're the one I always choose
I can relate, I've worn those shoes
When daily life starts to confuse
You heal me while you sing the blues

Strike your match, relight my flame
Enrich my life, relieve the strain
You left too soon, It's such a shame
Rest in peace, Sweet Etta James

Rough Cowgirl Etta

Rough desperate cowgirl Etta,
Really should have known better,
When she finally got a boyfriend
She quickly branded his rear end,
He surely did live to regret her.

Etta James, queen of rhythm and blues,
during your early life, you certainly paid your dues.
You arose from adverse conditions and hopeless obscurity.
In the music world, you were among the tops in popularity.
RIP (1938-2012)
