The Songwriters and Singers of Yesteryear

Sunday, July 12, 2009


song meant alot
words crafted
told a story
feelings
tortured soul
sometimes happy
laid to rest
for all to hear

looks of singer
afterthought
compliment
the effort

wordsmiths
sometimes called
blessed
from within

eighty eight
keys
used by many
to write
the soul
of the verse
placement
perfect
rhyme for a reason
piano holds the keys
no limit

like carole king
james taylor
to name a few
their music
brings me back
to my happy place
or sometimes sad

the good music
will not die
newly discovered
by the young
following increases
what was good then
is good now

Someone Believes

someone believes
hidden stars
walk among us
talent special
some do know
all along

appearances
deceiving
always gets chuckles
bad hair
funny dress
frumpy suit
cap backwards
too small
too young
too old

judges smirk
maybe laugh
poking fun
eyebrows raised
sideways glance
get it on
get it over with
snickers from
the crowd

singer starts
total surprise
quiet panelists
audience listens
caught up
in the moment
roar from crowd
standing ovation
could be the
winner
