Short Electric Guitar Poems

A musician resting in a spar,
Was playing his electric guitar,
An almighty spark
Plunged his home into dark,
He was left with a musical scar....

Star
Singing
Purple haze
Put spell on you
Electric guitar
The star spangled banner
Another overdose done
Poetic lyrics mesmerize
Waves of tunes that do misplace the mind
Music of his replayed, this very day...

Rorie the rock star mouse ordered a big electric guitar
He was in a band in Wisconsin, but was Minnesota far?
Many begged him to join them, was one band enough?
Rorie’s head exploded with pride, he felt like hot stuff....

piano rocket
jazzy orchestra sprockets

no electric guitar
no electrical sockets

careful where you dance
might get hit with a lover's locket

no security here
no need to empty your pockets
bumping to trumpet prophets...

Carry Me Away
Banging of the drums,
The cry of the electric guitar,
Breathes life into my fire tonight.
 
These electric currents seize through
My body constantly.
 
I get lost in the music,
Lost in your eyes,
As you make my hips rise....

I wanted to be 
an electric guitar,
to vibrantly run my screams in
melodically riffs and solos...
Turning my pains into art...
But I'm just that... lone cello
how bitter and silent
dies of thirst in a corner
without performing any blues.... !...

soft caresses sit on no evil stars
gently fall down like electric guitar rain
rhythmic motion of rainlike caresses
             beat to a drum
rhythmic motion of rainlike caresses
gently fall down like electric guitar rain
soft caresses sit on no evil stars...

                                                 He could really play
                                              That electric-guitar fine
                                                 Left-handed groovy...

the constant
music in my mind
melodic loops
and melodies

transposed lines
juxtapose the left
brain video that
could be a photo

of you
for you
to me

your face filling
the screen but only
your eyes blink
as your silver smile

stays the same
all the while
my soundtrack
plays back around

again and again
the electric guitar
synapse riff of
Crazy Train...

Newport 1965
(Or Dylan Goes Electric)

This was the dream concert
folk was at its peak
Pete Seeger, Joan Baez,
Odetta, Peter, Paul and Mary
Bill Monroe, Johnny Cash,
Gordon Lightfoot, Ian and Sylvia
But the prize, the dream was
to see Dylan play Blowin’ In the Wind
acoustically.
The folkie purists were shocked,
the dream had died.
Dylan played Maggie’s Farm with an
electric guitar and their world came
to an end.
