Future in the Past

As usual, music is my inspiration. I don't believe in hiding where I get my ideas. I think displaying them enhances the writing. I was challenged by a writer friend to do a trippy poem:)

The soul dance

some eastern trance

a funkadelic

honky tonk

sitar

snake charmer

 

camp fire girls

drift across the sky

mind spinning

completes that circle

in orgasmic delight

 

yes

some other night

melts in a flux

of the future

and my past

 

stepping through time

an ascension

in my mind

 

harmonics

resonate

and ruminate

in that marinade

that never resolves

itself

 

the endless cadenza

of a spirit

that’s

mine all mine

Man, this WAS trippy! To a wonderfully cool effect I might add! And I love the video...very awesome. Joe is my favorite guitar player. Those sparkling ember campfire girls dancing like gypsies across the sky might be "Aurora and her sister Boring Alice"...sorry, I stole that from Jimmy Buffett...lol

I like the syncopated rhythm in duple time in this poem.

[The Analog Kid]

A super group for sure.. loved hearing that song .. your poem is also pretty super.. i felt as if i were floating , many times i find inspiration in music . This writing to me is somewhat psychedelic , a fine stew .

[Emily B]

love it . . . just the right about of rhythm and blue

[Crowley]

Rose is right.....I have seen credenza a dozen times but never cadenza...lol. Nice walk through a surreal painting. You do a great job with music as your muse and Rose as the crew boss applying the whip when necessary. Loved it.

[just rose.]

congratulations - you are the only poet to effectively use the word cadenza in the history of the world.

love this. well done.
