Tattoo With Melody

I’ve been thinking about my first tattoo

And of what marks the man should do.

I think I’ll do an ode to those

Who have captured my audio receptors most.

I’ll start with Blink 182,

Whose innocence I’ve treasured true.

And Say Anything, with clever hooks,

Got me to give my pen a look,

But once I got my best words flowing,

Its La Dispute that kept me going,

And every time they start to stop,

Brand New will end the writers block.

Bob Dylan, with his clever thoughts

Was free of fear from fights he fought.

The Offspring brought the good punk back

So Bad Religion wasn’t the only act.

When confidence is my mental pleaser

I’ve always had a whim for Weezer.

The Chili Peppers are always nice

When I hear them once, I don’t think twice.

But Modest Mouse is my newest addiction

Its ‘noise’ perfected, not rhythm friction

And last but not least I must mention The Killers

The original, beautiful, emotion spillers.

I know this list will likely change

But ill have colorful scars to mark my range.

So read these words and treasure your music

And remember your taste so you can always choose it.

Just like I’ll show my first born son.

Ill show you all the work he's done

To make me and my music one

Author's Note

I am getting this tattoo on my right arm as sort of a collage and just like it says, as soon as its done I will put a picture up.

[Poetic Beauty]

This is a great poem of how different music can spark different emotions and how different memories flood our brain when we hear the different songs and artists. I love Bad Religion and on you didn't mention Social Distortion for punk. Bob Dylan is always a must and Janis Joplin oh and don't forget The Doors. I have a huge variety that I love everything from classical to heavy metal. I love this poem for it talks about how we like different music at different times and our tastes can change.
