I understand how you mean this, though I wouldn\'t call it \'usurping\' myself.

I really like the use of enjambment and the soft consonant sounds; it makes for a really easy read including out loud.
I also really like that use of caesura in that last stanza, it really makes the ending pop.

The Greatest Harp (+1)
Heather T said:

A tribute? Sonny Boy? I\'m just throwing out guesses. You\'re fantastic and I\'m sure you already know that. Poets sing all kinds of blues.

Beyond The Gleam (+1)
Kurt Philip Behm said:

Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood have been together in various bands
for over 50 years. They are both the best at what they do, and seem to
finish each others musical sentences.

Together—at Madison Square Garden—they gave a concert for the ages.

To me, this describes beautifully the journey from ego to self, the difficult journey we must all eventually undertake. Well done, Kurt!
