Bob Dylan Poem by Gayathri Seetharam

Bob Dylan
-Gayathri B. Seetharam
During the 1960s he became an iconic figure
In the counterculture movement
And composed two memorable songs "Blowing in the Wind"
And "The times they are changing"
Both of which epitomised the new 60s generation
Of the counterculture that swept America;

One can be fooled into thinking
Of a hyperbole that defines Bob Dylan
As the only one who is the man with the wins
And the Dylan"esque" is picturesque music
For his voice and slow guitar
Make music have you feeling free and alive;

This is applicable to my career oriented path
And these is a little poem from his lyrics:
When the rooster crows at the break of dawn
How does it feel to be a complete unknown
Then the sands will roll
Out a carpet of gold
For your weary toes to be a-touchin'
And the ship's wise men
Will remind you once again
That the whole wide world is watchin'.
