I stare at my new turquoise guitar
too fancy for me, but you have to know my grandma
remembering when Jimi Hendrix set his Stratocaster on fire
how could he?

As the queen of all your castles,
I couldn't love you more.
Prove me wrong.

There once was a lad named Cy Milgram
A regular cool and hip pilgrim --
He saw Plymouth 'Rock'
Said, "Fast forward the clock!" --
Played Jimi Hendrix ~ nearly killed 'em

Limerick
The Rolling Stones were the bad boys
Amped-up volume, lyrics semi-obscene
Jimi Hendrix -- hypnotic, Frank Zappa -- psychotic
The Monkees? ~ Even their fingernails were clean

Made my name in Monterey
BB,Muddy ,the key to how I play;
Bell bottom fashion was my thing,
Little Richard was my king
like his voice,my guitar sings.

Tonight,
I had a date with the mountain
Tonight,
I made those promises impend
Tonight,
behind the shadow of my fear
Tonight
—the devil smiled at me again

*****************************
Strumming guitar necks
In a dyslexic manner
While on lsd
Mind turning pages
Psychedelic music sheets
Colorful notes dance
Life wind cries Jimi
Living in a purple haze
Rainbow rhythm sleeps

Tho' right-handed
instruments the two do play
yet one is downside up
left-handed musicians both are they
or seem to sup
from a similar southpaw cup
and if you follow the trail of crumbs
they lead to Jimi
the Starr of guitar
and stick to Ringo
the Hendrix of drums

Jimi Hendrix
Drug filled days
Lived his life
In a purple haze
His music
Is a monument
To what it's like
When life is spent
Picking guitars
With your teeth
Never touching
floors beneath
He flew so high
He could touch the sky
Stratocaster in his hand
Hendrix was an awsome man

I Am From sleeping in late playing with Fred and Figurines
I Am From No Go to bed and Go Outside
I Am From Reading in the sun lying in the grass and walks in the woods
I Am From cookies cake and Marconi and cheese
I Am From Jim Julie Jimi Hami Lami Goldi Blondi

I do not know?
drive the car
I'll roll the joint
on the 8 track
jimi
we'll smoke and drive around
pick up your friends
go to the woods
when its full dark maybe we'll park somewhere
that dark road
and kiss
mostly we hung out
smoked
traded 8 tracks
soon I could roll a perfect one
anywhere
even on your back

From the Festival at Monterey
Through Woodstock and his anthem play
His Experience and Band of Gypsys days
To his icon hit, Purple Haze
We remember Jimi even today
His wah-wah pedal and feedback ways
It’s so sad that he ended his days
Far too young to hear the praise.

Why did adele want to set fire to lorraine
when the monkees saw her face why were the gonna leave her
why did R.e.m pee in the corner and in the spotlight
and bob dylan ants are his friends and are blowing in the wind
who was the guy jimi hendrix was kissing in a purple haze
and bon jovi doesnt care if were naked or not

A life, so amplified
in screaming rock and roll
From troubled home,...trebles honed
Legend grew as bold as love
He played plugged in, beneath the night
Of midnight lamp, ...yet still alone
And we will see a future of a thousand years
still screaming glory that he'll never know

Excuse me while I kiss the sky
Seeking answers – why’d Jimi die?
Perhaps it was the Burning of the Midnight Lamp
Hey Joe! Don’t know? Revisit his amp
Purple Haze shrouded by mystery
Woodstock legend resounds in history
Vietnam veteran’s soulful, haunting cry
Excuse me while I kiss this guy

Why are you here?
said Jimi
In the Room Full of Mirrors.
You don't know what I saw!
said Izabella
In the Room Full of Mirrors.
Have you heard about the wall?
said Pink
In the Room Full of Mirrors.
Why did you kill them all?
said Jimi
In the Room Full of Mirrors.
Dedicated To Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd

Hate is Love
You did everything
And I only let you know
When it was wrong
Anger builds
Fights happen
Hate is everything
I hate you
And you left
You did everything
And I never let you know it
When you were right
Happiness is around us
Life is good
Love is everything
I love you
Please come back
Inspired by Jimi Hendrix’s “The Wind Cries Mary”

At home? But feeling homely, not homely
Why? How? or maybe where?
Home is where the heart is, right?
Feeling a little restless
Energy is abundant, so I must go
In search of a homely place
So away, far away, I go
To a beautiful place of refuge and belonging
Like Jimi, on to London to get put on
Yonder, I must go, for what I thought was not at home

If 9 were 6 and 6 were 9,
Everything would be just fine.
Ballgames wouldn't take quite so long,
Fewer clouds needed for a feeling so strong.
The Revolution's number wouldn't be so high,
And we'd sleep a bit deeper after we die.
But cats would have to be more careful,
And rolling dice would be less cheerful.
I suppose it wouldn't be a universal fix,
To make 6 into 9 and 9 into 6.

Fender strung upside down
big hands pressing strings to frets.
Woodstocks’ last scheduled act, Jimi
exercized his “Right to Free Speech.”
The world heard an eclectic electric version
of “Star Spangled Banner.” Those notes still
reverberate “All Along the Watchtower.”
“Hey Joe,” “Are You Experienced?”
“WELL, I AM !”
*To honor Jimi Hendrix in Raul Moreno's contest.

Is it first the
Music
And then the
Words
Or do the
Words
Come first?
Elton John says it
Works
Either way
Bob Dylan’s
Words create
The meaning
That Ray Charles
And
Jimi Hendrix
Explode
Is all timing
Real
Or just
Imagined?
Is the structure
True or
False?
Do your words
Beget the
Melody
Or is your
Aria
—born alone?

Author’s note: (This poem is true. Nothing in it is falsified or purposely omitted, even to
protect the guilty. Written one day that I had to take a z pak and some crazy cough
medicine (prescribed).)
Here I sit, sick in bed,
With Jimi Hendrix swirling in my head.
Such anarchistic style,
Topped off with a fetching smile.
Talent beyond the norm,
But his life turned into the Perfect Storm.

I hate it that I can't sleep,
These are not the hours
I'd care to keep,
I get so tired, with
no relief,
I swear to God, I
sometimes weep,
Awake sometimes for
seven or more days,
Puts my mind in a perpetual
purple haze
Sorry Jimi, you did amaze
The clever use of your
lyrical phrase,
You were , for me,
a musical craze,
But, back to issues,
Issues to me deep,
Oh my God, please
let me sleep!
