The 27 Club
Poetry Contest Description
Just what is the "27 Club"?
The 27 Club is a term given to the strange phenomenon of the group of rock stars/musicians who have died at age 27:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/27_Club
People like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse, and a whole bunch of others, gone too soon in some tragic way.
Have a browse through the list in the link above, or search out your own list, and get a feel for who's included there. Then, write a poem about any one of them, or all of them, a few of them, or the phenomenon itself of the 27 Club--you choose.
One week, 2 entries per person max, any style/length, no collabs--they confuse me! Go!

Cry Baby
She sang her heart out
just a small town girl from Texas
She was determined.
she played in coffee shops
with her little acoustic guitar
she was good, no doubt
she had a star quality
fast foward a few years and you get a superstar
she was on top of the world
of course, until she found that evil
the evil that took the lives of so many others
she became dependant on it.
she was reliant on it.
each show she lit up
afterwards, she lit herself up
she was so young
such a great talent
gone too soon.

Back to Black
She went back to black, alright
at her funeral.
she was a british gem
she had a great talent
she lit up the souls of many with her soultry sound
she had that 'it' factor
she also had her demons
she hid them well
she knew one day they'd be the death of her.
and so tragically,
they were.
she left this world
a young spirit
a young, songstress ripped from the grips of reality
she impacted so many people's lives
she left a void in so many lives.
Goodbye Amy.
You may go Back to Black.

Note: since DUP was down for a bit, I'll choose a winner for this comp on the 29th of July--that way it gives extra time to enter, even if past the deadline, for those who may want to join in. Thanks for all the entries so far!
