The Music City

Zoe:

the music city

color and culture and rhythm and rhyme swirling together
 like clothes in a washing machine
bustling restaurants and shops
bubbling to the brim with soft excitement
music fills the pastel streets with sounds of
strumming guitars and trumpets blaring
music city: a name rightfully earned




Musician's Hall of Fame

Walking through a time warp
all the legends of mastered melody
one "do not touch" sign away

The opportunity to record
 your own beautiful cringe worthy
songs and beats
To feel closer to
those legends




History Class Flash Back

As I gaze upon a text book wonder,
this creation from the golden age of Greece,
I can not help
but remember
the other figures most memorable to me 
Socrates, and Hercules, Pheidippides too
along with,
Plato,  Zeus, Athena, Hermes
They all came running back!

Who knew summer could make you remember
 what you were sure you would forget!





Food and Music

Dusk was on our heels
and we were growing hungry 
Tummy's loud as traffic
we strolled into the grille
the waitress took us to our seat
 but we grew hungrier still

A mountain of fried pickles
quickly disappeared
It was only to be replaced 
with sea of more mouthwatering food
pasta and bread sticks, pork chops and beans,
Tuna sandwiches, 
and a brownie sundae for desert!

All the while a man strums a guitar 
up on the stage
He sings songs I know
and ones I do not
But it all swims in the air 
and mixes together
to make the perfect night
