We who with songs beguile your pilgrimage / And swear that Beauty lives though lilies die, / We Poets of the proud old lineage / Who sing to find your hearts, we know not why ... (James Elroy Flecker)

Let's Hear It For Elvis!


I was just fifteen 

when he burst on the scene.

Could there have been

a more perfect age

for falling in love with Elvis?


The curl of his lip.

the twist of his hip,

the way he let rip –

the whole world a stage

for showcasing beautiful Elvis.


And how he could sing!

Let angelic choirs ring,

they don’t do a thing

compared with The King.

The voice of the age

will always and only be Elvis.



For Day 3 of PAD at Poetic Asides, we are asked to make a musical artist the title of the poem.
