Sing! Sing! Sing! Johnny

Sing! Sing! Sing! Johnny

 yes, you’re the talented one,

sing! sing! sing! Johnny Ray

 cause I’m not too shy to say,

that I'm taken by your music  

your words fall softly on my skin  

  takes my heart away 

 to ice cream days, and summer rays 

and when I was a boy again,

chasing tad poles

Eating Jello

playing baseball center-field, like on the radio

 then cooling down with homemade lemon-aide

wiping my brow,     

smiling as you sang your song,

thinking to myself,

I got it made 

and how it can’t get much better than this

Hey Man!!...... that looks like a young Bob Dylan........ but I guess it's Johnny Ray...... whom I haven't been introduced to .......anyway, if it can take  you back....... then it's good stuff.......I Love the way you used your phrasing here to remind us just how powerful music is in its roots and at which time it enters our lives!!........ALL STARS brother!!........ ttyl........T xo.  ?

lol, T, of cause this is Bob Dylan, singing (or rapping) one of my favorite songs, the poem is just expressing feelings, it appears that I'm now obsessed with politics and the idea of idol worshiping politicians; who will become whatever or whoever you need them to be in order to get elected, hence 'Johnny Ray'  who I think was an old time musician, not sure, lol....just used the name cause it sounded good....hey, I always considered Trump to be a 'rock star' lol, I'm shocked he is representing anything other than 'Trump' though, I still haven't wrapped my brains around him as president of the most powerful country on earth, too weird....later, and thanks for commenting bro

 You're right Chris  it don't get much better than this;  your poem is a fitting tribute to a poet like no other of this genre; a genius in my mind; 

 Your entire presentation is 10 stars

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 

 I love the art form & 

I love this entire presentation you bring here.

thanks jai, I'm a big fan of Dylan as well, though the poem is not a tribute to him, poem is trying to capture the euphoria some feel in idolizing politicians who act and speak like rock stars, I had Trump in mind when i wrote it, lol

I love your comment my friend, and it is true indeed that a poem is both for the reader and writer,

T.S Eliot once said, 'no poet, no artist of any art...has his complete meaning alone'  but in future, I won't put an image of Bob Dylan and a video as well, and post a poem about feelings and politics, lol....be well, jai baby!

hugs
