Prince of 'Achieves'

Prince of 'Achieves'

A Poem by Pete
"

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. - Thoreau

"
Prince (1958�

listeners entranced
getups enhanced
rhythms advanced
no choice but to dance

cutting it up like pies of mince
no need to convince
nothing like him since
putting the "oo" in cool
not the king but the prince

Author's Note

Pete
"A thrumming of piano-strings beyond the gardens and through the elms. At length the melody steals into my being. I know not when it began to occupy me. By some fortunate coincidence of thought or circumstance I am attuned to the universe, I am fitted to hear, my being moves in a sphere of melody, my fancy and imagination are excited to an inconceivable degree. This is no longer the dull earth on which I stood." - Thoreau

You are correct sir Pete.
Best of luck!
he was SO darn gifted. I'm only just discovering how great of a guitarist he was! And his acoustic version of cream? 🫠
Never gave much of an ear to his music - and I missed out for that. He certainly had "cool" (after the fonze retired)
