Array ( [sid] => 4455 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => at the show [time] => 2002-09-30 08:40:00 [hometext] => something i love to do is go to local shows, this is just a stupid poem about last night's experiences.... [bodytext] => how beautiful it was last night
don't you think?
to be at the show last night
killing time
driving downtown amid casinos and lights
and bikers and chaos and
pulling up next to the curb with a thousand
other people
spilt out on the sidewalk
as if the club couldn't hold them all
and the music inside your body
pressed up against the boy you love
dancing and swaying with the external force
of tens of other people dancing
it's much better to be among dirty punks
then to be at home crying
and it's much better to dance and mosh
than it is to cry and sob in your pillow
there were jerks there from the high school
but they're just there to get high
you're there to get high too,
but off the sweet sensation of music and friends
as the problems lift from your shoulders
you are free
and you dance like there's no tomorrow
with your love and your friends
under the red spotlight
meant only for the bands

Cool, I liked the imagery and the simpicity of it. I also enjoyed the pentameter.

Keep writing.

only time i ever get out of my dark bedroom is when i go to shows...the best feeling in the world is awesome music running in and out of your soul...i absorb all i can, all i can... its amazing to just be one with the music and the band....when music is your comfort and someone elses words are you scriptures...its a beautiful thing music is....i hope to be the music maker one day... :O)
