hush now,
wild thing
have you ever been to
electric lady land?
gypsy eyes, bold as
love
machine gun fire burning
desire—
hear my train a-comin’,
lover man
let me move you

I
recently visited a restaurant that had this likeness of Jimi Hendrix painted on
the wall near our table (and titles to many of his songs on the seating). Jimi is a Seattle icon, though I won’t say
role model, ha…however, he was a brilliantly
talented guitarist. I crafted this poem (and
title) from titles of songs he wrote, recorded or performed.
Songs:
Bold As Love
Burning Desire
Fire
Gypsy Eyes
Have You Ever Been (To
Electric Ladyland)
Hear My Train A-Comin’
Hush Now
Let Me Move You
Long Hot Summer Night
Lover Man
Machine Gun
Wild Thing
