Rock And Roll Poems - Poems about Rock And Roll

Neon haze on cobblestone nights, whispers ride on the southern moonlight. Shadows dance in the lamplight’s gleam, bourbon burns, but so do my dreams. There's a preacher on the corner, selling sinners one last prayer. But the devil’s got a table, and he’s pulling up a chair. Oh, Bourbon Street, take my soul, drown my sins in rock and roll. Golden whiskey, lace and lies, where...

I was sitting on the dock of the bay listening to a song when Otis Redding happened to come walking along. He said, "You watching the ships roll in?" I said, "Yeah, and then watching ‘em roll away again." He said, "That stuff's really dug by some. I think it’s all pretty much ho-hum." ...

Inside the China Palace there was, at some time, a similar stone frog, it could have been a female frog, hard to say for sure. If given a...

Maybe I didn't listen when you told me Your heart was gentle and kind Maybe I didn't understand, but you could have shown me... All the reasons you were going to move on All the feelings that were finally gone All the chances I had actually blown!

I found out about your passing like the wind that blew in, I walked thru those French like doors, And at that moment I knew this nightmare was true. I saw you lying there with peace across your face, I knew then your suffering was no more. I touched your face for one last time, the bitter cold feeling pierced my...

Poor Priddy Prattle sitting on the stair. Who comes along but Fred Astaire. Stretch your limbs, relax and dance. Up, he implores, dance and prance. Poor Priddie Prattle had not a clue, stuck in her seat just like glue. Then came Twyla with whim and wit. Down beside her she did sit. Poor Priddie Prattle proffered a frown.
