Poetry Contest

I think it's time for someone else to get their first trophy--how about you?!
We've had some "first win" comps around here before, myself running one of them, so I think we're due for another.  

Anyone who doesn't have a competition trophy yet, is welcome to join in here, runner-up status doesn't count--if you have no actual trophy, then here's your chance to get one, but you're gonna have to work for it a bit.....

Here's the deal:
one week, poems only (any style, length), no collabs, up to three entries allowed.

And here's your topic matter:  Musicians/Singers who have died in plane crashes. <---pick one from the list below and write a poem about that person, or choose up to three, if you want to enter up to the max limit.

Here's the list of those gone too soon:

John Denver
Jim Croce
Ronnie Van Zandt
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Richie Valens
Rick Nelson
Patsy Cline
Buddy Holly
"Big Bopper"
Otis Redding
Glenn Miller
Aaliyah


(Anyone else who's already won a trophy in a comp, is welcome to be a guest judge on this one--PM me if you want to help decide the winner!)

GO!

3 days left, guys & dolls!  Easy win for someone's first trophy, but if no entries in the next couple of days, I can always extend and tweak this, to open it up to everyone and it's fair game then.  Or I can ditch it all together, if no one's interested.

Come back to me, can you feel me?
The cries of Missy Elliot, your fans miss you more
Romeo must die, I tought he did
So why did you go too?
Beautiful queen, why did you get damned by death?
Detroit felt the death toll, you were more than a million
The rise of a star, the galaxies were jealous
Nature thought it wise to end you
Bahamas opted to be the cemetary
Why? When did a tourist turn a killer
Timber wasn't scarce back in your land
So why the catafalques in after rock the boat?
Timberland got the jibe of his life
Incredulous, shes gone
The more he tries to resuscitate the more he hears try again.
Life gave you a piece of short cake
You left memories like you eat a nile cake though
I should have ripped luis of that coke can
It was too late though, Maybe autopsy was even wrong
You flew away too soon
I wish I had cut off your wings
You took away those dance steps
You took away that voice that get humming birds tripping
You stole your script out of hollywood
I Miss you loads
Your loved ones miss you too.

A limerick 'bout Jim

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/ae/Jim_Croce_Nashville_Tribute.jpg



Jim Croce was a soulful man
his words could turn a white girl tan!
he sang songs from his heart
time in a bottle was smart
and I am his number one fan!

 A beautiful lady. A magical voice.
A life to short. Amazing music.
Many followers, still in death.
Your music lives on.
A true legend like you, shall never die.
Crazy, I fall to pieces.
Glorious music to my ears.
