Blurred Circles

Inspired by Ana Sophia's poem, "Sam's"

Waxing poetic

in spun vinyl whispers

Released on off beat labels

with unknown names

Rotating in blurred circles

of dance beat delusions

where old 45’s

go to play...

 

Care to take a spin? 

Author's Note

Here is a link to Ana's poem if you need it.

oh those 45s .. how much did they cost? $.25-50?? .. one of my friends back then (names Cloud .. and for good reason;) he had stacks of 45s at his bedside .. three feet in height .. no jackets .. and could find anything you wanted to hear within three tries or less .. he use to bath them in the tub as a loving father .. way outside my ken ;) thanks for the inspirational reminiscing! checking the link now and thank you for that as well..

Playful and short
inspiring reflections of the past
with music.

Ah old vinyl. It got scratched and all fucked up but it was fun to have records

[willweb]

Just put a quarter on top of the needle arm and it will play just fine. :) Thanks so much my friend.

willweb, The use of the 45 metaphor spinning on the turntable colors this entire work with a picture of round-and-round, a circle, unbroken. The inviting ending ("Care to take a spin") makes the reader more involved, inviting them into your thought process. Great job in creating that connection. take care...dan

[willweb]

Wow, thanks so much Dan for that glowing review. I appreciate you stopping by.

Thanks again.

[DoormanDan]

This poem really makes me think about the time before CDs and other fancy electronics. You really created the perfect atmosphere to go with this poem!

[willweb]

Thanks so very much Dan. Each era has its good points and bad points. Vinyl was cool and so was the art work that came with it...but, you couldn't play vinyl in your car or on the beach to easy. :)

[MomzillaNC]

Yes… please.

Did you know vinyl is making a comeback? Recording artists prefer the depth of layered sound you cannot get in digital recording.

I have heard, I just vinyl tops on cars don't come back...I hated those things. :) Thanks so much Momz.

[MomzillaNC]

You're welcome. Yeah, vinyl topped cars were pretty horrible.

[Tiana]

Thanks so very much Island Woman. I do too from time to time, but my daughter and her friends are big into vinyl. They think it's cool. :) I think their collection is now twice the size of mine.
