This is a great topic with rewarding results from all whose entries I have and do enjoy.

Terrific tribute, Rollie. You is the man my friend.

A topic begins . . . may it never end.

FSB :D

Rock Stars come, and Rock Stars go
They give us melodies
The ones that truly matter
Leave welcome memories

Some are good and some are kind
And then there are the rest
But, even with the ones we scorn
There's love for all the rest

After all the music plays
And when they leave the stage
The lights go down, the fans go home
For some they're all alone.

Some return to play and then
Some will leave, we know not when
But when we reach the Pearly Gates
We'll cheer for them again.

RIP
Prince

FSB

Good one FSB.

Inspiration
to write can be fleeting
the window is open for only a time
to picture words with literal meaning
through a poet's eyes
illustrations are made of those kind

Oceans of emotions ebb and flow
while building literary bridges
connecting those writers that create
through knowing living being
a world of thoughts to show
like dreamers do while dreaming

first version

Long ago, so very long ago I feel
something happened, a change
I can not remember exactly when it happened
when love walked out the door
the door closed so quietly
it didn't slam shut or make a noise
as it always had, when opening and closing, before
this time it did not make a sound
no, love left silently, as if not to let me know that it had gone
without a good bye, just gone and nothing more
this house, that love walked out of, is like any other
four walls a ceiling a floor
without love this house is not a home, not anymore
for as long, I have been hoping for love to return
waiting for love to come back
and turn this house into a home again
thoughts of hope are fading
as days pass along
even though I wait still
because love must come back
make this house a home once more

Bee-u-tee-full, Rollie. A work of art that needs to fit in the bookcase of classics.

FSB thank you. You are too kind, and forgiving as well my friend. Why do I love you? Those are two of the reasons, there are more though. :D
This Forum has so many good writers, about guitars amps music. A learning place to practice and share, whether prose or poetry, fact or fiction, comedy or just everyday life. A Fender literary circle. Brad, thank you very much. 8)

This is great FSB.
Melancholy times, Prince and all of the others in succession, it seems a short span of time.

yes and no

is it a complaint or confession
an expression of obsession
is it an instantaneous reaction
at an incident or situation
you make me mad
i pitch a fit
you can not believe
i can not control it
neither can i
neither can i
you see it is a trigger
somewhere inside me
the one that i can not control
and it is to do with two words
yes and no
i am quite fond of yes
no means unbelievable insanity
(pun, unintended)
and so i'll try to control it
again and again
if it takes forever
ever to end
this madness and confusion
of apologies and delusion
i won't give up
trying to make it up
to you
and then you lovingly say
get over it
$@!& happens get used to it
ahhh, "It's a great life, if you don't weaken"*
thank you very much

"John Buchan"*

Life! We all have it. We all know it.
We all experience it in some way.
Some are lucky, others not so.
Some have many miles to go to find that life
Is what you make - not what you take . . . for granted.

I have pains, and troubles, and gains.
Do I have less or maybe more?
Do you have things? Who keeps score?

I've seen smiles on children without a home.
I've known wealthy people all alone.
I've seen mean people, lean people calling others fat.
I've known smart people with the brain of a gnat.

Some live long, some wish they would . . .
It's not for us to say;
But, Life is not to be just ours
So share throughout the day.

FSB

Well now
Britain is voting
to exit the EU
cool heads are talking
I didn't know there were any left
save the Queen who knew what to do
Europe is garbage, no good to me or you
if they don't change their ways
just let them go
flush them down the loo

(maybe this is too harsh. I can rewrite it if necessary)

I liked that, Rollie. Just watched the Britain/EU verdict. I'll bet there were a lot of surprised recipients. It will be interesting news for weeks to come.
