To Rock On or to Rust
Chords scream and whine
Distorted, compressed
Amplified turbine
Forceful, distressed
A flurry of notes
Follows quickly behind
What say you my friend
What’s on your mind
You follow melodically
So full of pretense
And speak so methodically
So frantic, intense
What is the reason
For your thunderous noise
Long hair and tattoos
Defiantly poised
A celebration of power
A party of lust
To shake and devour
To rock on or to rust
Scream with a vengeance
Shout out in disgust
To rebel without reason
To rock on or to rust

now you’re speaking my langusge
this is awesome and it is an awesome tribute to
all musicians everywhere!!
Fabulous collection of guitars! Oh so lovely to lay my eyes upon.
I received your comment and I would rather email you. I am trying to catch up on some comments now, and will probably have tons of time tomorrow to catch up on emails.
A quick run down, I just search out poetry magazines online. Many print mag’s also have websites and many now take submissions via email. The best judge of quality is to simply read an issue or two and see if that is a place where you think your work might fit it.
It takes time. You’ll develop favorite places. You’ll also discover places you do not care for because of their treatment or lack of treatment to authors.
Google poetry ezines and see what you come up with.

rock on…
Excellent poem! Puts me in mind of Dylan Thomas’ “do not go gentle…” indeed, rock on! … and remember, as Neil Young said “Rust Never Sleeps” (although he stole that from a paint advertisement)
