This gift was welcomed and well-recieved, my friend. Beyond poems, this applies much to our presence. We each are unique and offer that uniqueness to the world. If some don\'t see value in us, it may be that uniqueness is just not for them. Profoundly powerful message whether about literal poems or people. Beautiful, mate! A fave! 🌹👏

Oh, but you\'re dead-on correct! Brevity in hard- hitting perfection never said it better than this veritable beauty. I love it. Thank you so very much for sharing.

Nicely said in this short piece that people are not always prepared or ready for the gifts that they are given. Well said Tom

yes - poetry does help us survive the daily trials and tribulations - you pour your heart out, and feel release

Hello Tom,
a very interesting poem. I think it is all to do with the business of music, what we are forced to listen to, as it were - like the stock market, business people watching the charts - play more, make more, in your face and advertised to the hilt, it is what you should be listening to, to be cool and of course a little bit of controversy to keep it in the public eye. Of course there are always the genuine talented musicians of all ages who can inthrall on their own merits. I have enjoyed this poem, very much so. I like your style, down to earth, honest and poetically expressed with a sound balance.
Kind regards,
Tony.

Cheeky Missy said:
Oh! Reminds me of my own late father and my teens. Guess dads must trounce our music, in return teaching us to listen to theirs, as you do eloquently described. Ergo, I love the Fab Four and the \"oldies but goodies\" or \" the golden oldies,\" though I\'ve never learned to appreciate the King like seems I should have--too far removed from my generation?! Gorgeously rendered with nigh exquisite imagery and a delightful poignancy. Thank you so very much for sharing. I love it.

Nice one Tom
Good music Is good music
Some transcends the rubbish
Madonnas Ray of Light
Is an electro pop mystical masterpiece
That Is still modern with some sweet tunes
Air\'s Moon safari Is a classic modern masterpiece
Liz phairs Soberish has some sweet tunes
And soundscapes on par with some of her
early albums
Beatles and Oasis are classic and modern
Alot of great music In the 60s and 90s

Nice, I\'ve been thinking the same thing too, but I just wrote something on pop I\'ll publish tonight. I\'ve grown in my appreciation for many kinds of music, and often we want to stay put with what is comfortable and what we grew up around, but I do think some music is healthier to listen to than others. I think every aspect of a song tells us something, and forms us, so we need to be careful

I know what you mean about Modern Music.
People may have hated Rock and Roll and Beat Music; but they were still Songs. Now it\'s a repetitive Noise. As for Madonna: I don\'t mind but give me Dusty Springfield any day.
AI - as Paul Simon would say \'You can call me AI\', or maybe not.

Re: music. There\'s a ghastly saying where in some churches they attempt to sing a Psalm, and only the choir knows the tune, and they don\'t tell the rest of us. They may laugh up their sleeve and say \'Heehee, time for the congregation to murder a Psalm again!\'

The old hate change and I imagine a caveman beating on a log drum hating the music of Beethoven and Mozart. Yet I consider myself open minded as to style, genre and country of origin and still I find myself bothered with autotune, pitch correction, micro speakers in ear buds that take the soul out of soul, the blues out of blues and the pop out of pop. If less is more then soon then any fool with an off pitch voice and a tire iron to beat a beat will be a star and maybe we will go back to beating on logs and letting AI transpose it into a top 40 hit.
