Aa Harvey

I choose to YouTube.

 

 

When famous people die,

You get to look back fondly at their lives.

You get to see what they accomplished;

You get to read what people write.

You get images never seen before;

You open whole new doors.

You learn the truth and the lies;

All truth is revealed in due course.

 

 

When famous people die,

You find out who really deserves to be in ‘Who’s who.’

You remember their contribution to the world

And you wonder; what could I do?

How could I do something to earn that fame, that respect?

You wonder if your life, when you are taken,

Will have had any kind of effect.

 

 

When famous people die,

You become nostalgic for a youth long since gone.

When a famous person dies,

You remember them in poetry or in songs;

Or you remember their songs,

Or the movies they made during their life.

When a famous person dies,

Some of them become more famous,

Than they ever did when they were alive.

 

 

Remember fame brings you immortality;

So find yourself a way.

 

 

Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson;

Kurt, Bowie and Prince.

I really liked them all when they were alive…

I have loved their music since.

    Very, very great poem Aa Harvey. It is amazing how time is frozen for the people in the poem and other people who have impacted us in some way through their work.

    • Aa Harvey

      Thank you. With Bowie and Prince dying, I listened to Prince properly for the first time (I never really listened to many Prince songs before apart from what was on the T.V. I already loved Bowie and Kurt) and this Christmas more famous people have died...it never ends.

        I know😞 Prince, Bowie, Kurt were so gifted. So many great artists. We are fortunate to be able to save them thru technology🙂

            Thank you. It's always nice to hear when people tell me that they like a poem I have written. I can never really judge a poem of my own because I love nearly all of them in different ways, apart from the times when I later realise I have written a not very good poem. But because I can only upload one poem a day here, I do try to only give you the poems that I like and hopefully other people will like them too.

              Welcome. I can understand I like everything I have written, but if I never show them to anyone I will never know just how good or bad they really are.

              Great poem! It's like time stops for a moment when you hear of their death. Kurt and Prince were the worst. Then George Michael over Christmas. They all impact us in different ways. Thanks for sharing.

                Thank you for your comment. Also, Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) died recently and her mother Debbie Reynolds (Singer/Actress) died shortly after. It seems a lot of famous people have died this year.
