Southern Rockin'

The frontiers are not east or west, north or south, but wherever a man fronts a fact. - Thoreau

fingers pickin'

piano keys clickin'

greased lightnin' like kentucky friend chicken

showin' everybody the way

workin' for mca

the music did the talkin'

no need to ask who's knockin'

hot damn, just a wee bit of good 'ole southern rockin'

deep down in your innards

say hello to Lynyrd Skynrd

Author's Note

"Music is the sound of the universal laws promulgated. It is the only assured tone. There are in it such strains as far surpass anyman's faith in the loftiness of his destiny. Things are to be learned which it will be worth the while to learn." - Thoreau

Reviews

[Bhuyanshi Talukdar]

Your poem was an amazing tribute to the legendary Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd. The way you used vivid imagery and powerful language to describe their music and their impact on the world of music was truly inspiring. I loved the way you captured the energy and excitement of their performances, and the way you celebrated their unique sound and style. The line "the music did the talkin', no need to ask who's knockin'" was particularly powerful, and I think it really speaks to the way that Lynyrd Skynyrd was able to connect with their audience on a deep level.
