Blue, Black & White (Free verse) by oneglove
Hear the hounds a callin They’re crying out for blood By fire light, their jet black eyes Reveal the scenes in hell Come runnin boy Don’t slow up now Look for me outside of town You and me gonna meet on down highway 61 The fresh face babe is long forgot Behind broken bones and lives That bastard’s passed out cold again He’ll sleep on through the night Smell the air Outside of town That broken man can’t get you now You and me gonna meet on down highway 61 Hear the city singin out It’s lonely and in love It hurts and aches and can’t get to sleep Son, it’s where you belong Grab that six string Hit the ground Start your livin, runnin round You and me gonna meet on down highway 61 That harvest moon is callin Over the amber sea Lost and broken hit the road Your savior’s waitin under me Get out quick And feel the sound The ghosts of heartache gather round You and me find common ground on highway 61

Reads like a song. Call it a lyric and give it a tune.

Lots of corners
Lots of rooms
Lots of strumming
Lots of tunes

The Blues Highway...drive it every day.

Yeah, I'd call this a lyric..it reads like one and as a free verse I'd probably only give it a 5...but as a lyric it's an 8. Doesn't make sense? Sorry.

are you saying the poem doesn't make sense? Perhaps you don't understand the poem, but believe me it makes sense. If you're struggling to tie things together the last two lines should help.

I understand the poem. I'm not stupid. I was saying that giving it a different score simply because it's in one category and not the other might not make sense.

By no means do I think you're stupid, I was just trying to clarify what you said. And I agree that it has the meter of a song, but I am no musician so that's why I labeled it a free verse. I hope you take advantage of any blues you find along 61
