Janis Joplins Porsche
Janis Joplin brought is a lot of musical love in but a few years
When she retired from this earth, there were so many fears.
Her car was unique, painted like a colorful, artistic cartoon.
I picture her sweet owner, on the moon, giving a croon....

'Down On Me'
In West Port Arthur
the winds blew hard
to carry her away
The times were ripe
Big Brother raw
that crossroads by the bay
Her dive was deep
through Kozmic Blues
a legend to unfurl
But not escape
that Ball and Chain
—still searching for the Pearl
(Ode To Janis Joplin: November, 2023)

"jamming In Heaven"
His fingers make this quitar sing..
His lyrics grab by the arm and ring..
A tall dark God with poetic words..
Hold a crowd with just a surge..
The national Anthem never heard this way..
Set standards and to all who will later will play..
Gone to fast as most legends do..
Jamming up in Heaven with Lennon
and Joplin too.....

The Renaissance Man
Gone is the era of the Renaissance Man
Who delved into Milton, Voltaire and Rosseau
Knew the difference between Cezanne and Gaugin
Could parse a sentence and quote Henry Thoreau
Came Woodstock, he was buried deep in time's sands
Covered over by Joplin and Country Joe...
Social media's dug man's hole even worse
Alexa and Cortana ~ My lips are pursed...

Ottava rima
Take It
Just take it,
rescue me, leave me weightless
with no feeling.
Take a piece, let me drift to a place
where there is only two,
me with you.
Steal it, take the burden
carry it with you beside yours
make it one.
Piece by piece awaken me
feel me melt as you take,
end this, my forever ache.
Please say you will maybe,
take another little piece of my heart now,
baby.
7/27/15 music to my ears contest- Janis joplin "piece of my heart"...

Riders On the Storm
Riders on the storm
Left us too soon
Where have they gone
Oh just one more song
Jim Morrison
Jimi Hendrix
Amy Winehouse
Riders in the storm
Changed our lives
Showed us a different light
Once shining so bright
Marvin Gaye
Janis Joplin
John Lennon
Riders on the storm
Once so strong
Took us to
The other side
Whitney Houston
Tupak Shakur
Kurt Cobain
Riders on the Storm
Burning candles at both ends
The flame has died
Oh just one more song...

Joplin--The Town That Hope Built
HOPE is Helping and Serving,
HOPE is Here!
HOPE is Living and Breathing,
HOPE is Near.
HOPE is Rising,
Reach up for me!
HOPE is Giving,
HOPE is Receiving,
HOPE is Loving,
HOPE is Believing,
HOPE is Redeeming
For all to see.
HOPE is Hoping,
Dont give up on me.
HOPE is Persevering,
HOPE is Endearing,
HOPE is Praying,
HOPE is Cheering.
HOPE will not Fade,
HOPE will not Wilt;
For this is the town that HOPE built.
HOPE built it Before,
and HOPE will build it Again....

A Heavenly Apology
"I'm sorry for burying my face in your lap Janis Joplin."
Joplin's reply, "Water under the bridge Jim Morrison."
This is an apology that occured in Rock n Roll heaven.
Jim Morrison did in fact
in a drunken stuper so did collapse
and bury his face in Janis Joplin's lap.
Joplin was shocked and knocked him further unconscious
over his head with her bottle of Southern Comfort,
but I imagine that these two Rock n Roll legends
have patched things up and are now heavenly friends again....
