Painter Arthur Hughes
in pre-raphaelite who' who's
'April Love'* a reverse ecphrasis
depicting a love affair in crisis
Artist Arthur Hughes
decided prelim sketces not to use
He followed the style of a mentor
'til wanderlust came to the door
He is known by all as the Voice of Rock
With do respect no one will really mock
He sings in the air
As he does so care
Fun to listen to at the fishing dock
Music that touches the soul
That makes one’s aura glow
For sure this I know
As his voice makes me whoa
From lyrics I watch sow
The next album is always a go
Did you hear about our friend, Glenn Hughes,
who is Robert James Liguori's muse?
Though he's set to retire,
may he ever inspire,
as he sure fills a big pair of shoes.

A place in the sun, postponed

Yes, blame the chick,
Rocker or hick,
Burning here,
Hands appear!
Witchy fire,
Doomed desire,
Blasted, didn't care,
She's a don't care bear,
Guess she felt good,
Blasted the whole 'hood!
I knew a black playwright, cried in his beer
Trust me, Langston Hughes had nada to fear
My friend wrote ‘too white’
'King's English,' his plight
I advised him, “Take Ebonics, you hear?”

Howard Hughes
was always in the news
He came up with one heck of a crazy notion.
A plane filled with ping pong balls, should it fall into the ocean.

COMMUNION
(for Frieda and Nicholas Hughes)
two pieces of buttered bread.
two glasses of ice cold milk.
communion for the children
locked inside the apartment
of a dead poet.

Sing is what Glenn Hughes does
Sung is what Glenn Hughes was
Dung is for those who hate
Ding to remind not to stay up late
Dine to eat while Glenn Hughes sings
Wine to drink as his music rings
Wipe to take away the tears
Pipe to smoke against more music to hear
Glenn Hughes sings to women. Here are just a few he’s wooed…
- Sofia
- Arianna
- Medusa
- Roxanne
- Angela
- Blue Jade
- Sista Jane
- Jolayne
- Jackie
- Madeleine
- Gabi
- Allyson
Glenn romances them and sings from the heart!
Oh there is so much love.
Rumbling flows inside my very essence.
Storms on the inside, mimicking tornados on the outside.
Feelings of despair flooding out the hope that is in my heart.
Pain leaving darkened footsteps behind.

In the hills lived a bootlegger named Hughes
Who 'stilled corn squeezin's you couldn't refuse
He was one lucky bloke
'Til the law saw the smoke
He now lives in the pen for peddlin' booze

The book is littered with false clues,
The reader’s eyes are growing tired.
Who’d worn the pair of women’s shoes?
The book is littered with false clues.
So sure the killer’s Willy Hughes
(The one the Major nearly fired).
The book is littered with false clues,
The reader’s eyes are growing tired.
