Poetic Thoughts - Ode to Joe's Song - by C.W. Pruitt II
posted: Aug. 20, 2010
It is 2:30 A.M. and I am reflecting on a song Joe Harrison played for me earlier this evening. We were at Abstract James' apartment. Joe put the ear things in my ears. (I am very bad with technology.) He played one theme from a series of five for me through his computer device. It was an amazing experience - like hearing Classical music for the first time.
So I wrote a little poem about it:
Ode to Joe's Song
It had a deep optimism.
It had vibrance
with surprises
that were pleasing
around every
corner.
This journey had
large vistas
that s - t - r - e - t - c - h - e - d
out
in front of me
in only
4 minutes.
