In Their ShadowAs good
as they got
Clapton
Allman and Page
Their music
still borrowed
the Delta
on stage
Technique
in the offing
devoid
of the pain
As juke joints
and crop shares
sing out
— in refrain
(The New Room: August, 2025)

The policing of voiceIt's not about tone
Its about policing of voice
It's not about the sound we make
It's the words echoing through them
They don't fear us being seen
They fear us being heard
That we will hypnotise the masses with our words
They know their biggest threat is the power of our voice
It's why they wield silence as a weapon
It's why...

The Sound of a Jelly RollSitting on a napkin or plate,
they cause my two eyes to dilate,
and there the silent ringing sound,
the sweetest not heard, the world round.
Can you hear, as angel bells toll
the chiming tones of a jelly roll?...

ALL THAT JAZZPlay that Saxophone for me, play a sweet Melody
Play the keys so smoothly , let the music sing for me.
As i close my eyes I feel so alive and hypnotised by the vibes it is sending to me.
It is driving me wild, sending shivers up my spine.
I have a natural high for I am in...

PETE THE PERCUSSIONISTPETE THE PERCUSSIONIST
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There once was a drummer named Pete,
whose rhythm was funky and sweet.
He dreamed of the stage,
a rock star despite his age.
His sticks, though, were clumsier than his feet.
He practiced with pots and with pans,
in hopes of a life with great bands.

Dance In The RainShe wants to dance in the rain
and walk across edges, of warmest sands
that shimmers, as if diamonds
like, speckled...freckles
and she wants to let her hair hang down, loose
as if to flow, like strands of silken whispers
and she will wear Batiste , translucent
with wonderous, glitter, luster
for as the day, slips away
from daylight, to...

Villanelle of a Metal QueenVillanelle of a Metal Queen (c) 2025 by Russ Dodson
I just don't know where else to start
to tell you of this love of mine
she is the beating of my heart
these feelings that I must decline
I just don't know where else to start
the memories both sweet and tart
hold feelings that I would enshrine
she is the beating...

Spanish MusicI don't know how,
To speak Spanish,
But I love the music,
I hope that one day,
I'll learn the language,
And sing my heart out.

When the hurting speaks new song versionWhen the hurting speaks
All of the memories...
flood back with time
I've never been taught, how
to handle it right
All the thoughts linger...
in the cracks of the mind
Where no one expects,
or is able to find
Bridge
Where are you going
in this altered state?
Where nothing is real,
and solutions are fake.
Chorus
What will you do now?
Wait in the darkness...
Wait in the darkness...
Until...the...

Pau - Old School CoolOld School Cool (c) 2025 by the Entangled Pair
She's hot, yes, but she's also cool
she is a gem, she is a jewel
I think she's great (and I'm no fool)
she beats those drums like she's old school
she pounds those skins, sometimes it's funny
she hits them like they owe her money
and one thing more I'll tell you...

Night of the James Taylor Concert during Freshman Year at CollegeMy friend most beautiful
sat shoulder to shoulder with me
after the lights went low
and the show began.
We took in ballad after ballad
the tender voice hour after hour
and a spell was cast.
The song of Don’t Let Me Be Lonely Tonight
spoke to me— I could almost cry.
I glanced at her
and she looked straight ahead.
This was the night I...
