one doo wop replay night,
from a front row seat
he shines in camera light
his guileless face behind
a single tear near spill.
from a king of sing
innocent words,
a sweet cover for acts
pitting few against many,
rekindle years of sixty
he hums along with love
that lasts a million years

a very nice piece.
his guileless face behing a single tear near spill. Very beautiful.
I love everything about this.....it has wonderful rhythm, excellent choice of words, and it's very emotive!
Tumbleword,
Funny how it all comes flooding back with just the few beginning notes, isn't it!

That's very sweet, Tumblewords. Sixty years? Wow. I'm in awe.
Wull. I'm not in awe of your sixty years...but I am in awe of your left brain that turned right a decade ago!
Nice work!
I like how this poem seems to harken back to another time and place.
music is the perfect sense memory.
You've done it again! A cracking piece. And don't forget, 60 is the new 40 - 30 even!!! At least that's what I tell myself!
Beauty is. . .Unforgetable!
Kind of sweet. favorite is the last two lines
Lovely! Sounds like Nat King Cole might have played a part in this ...?
"a sweet cover for acts
pitting few against many,
rekindle years of sixty"
I love these lines! Great poem..
Our poetry has the same timeless quality as the music you reference. Beautiful poem.
Nice - The musical references are wonderful.
Beautiful, swings sweet with a little wicked grin. Poetry to make the spirit dance. (oh and literal timetravel too, in that it transports) Going straight into my alltime favourites because your poem is unforgettable.
Beautiful!
Just wonderful my friend. My Father and Mother loved NKC and that song. I can remember it well from an old black and white TV screen.
Lovely poem.
