I Did It My Way Poem by ritty patnaik

I Did It My Way

Rating: 5.0


youthful days
full of music,
a time of your life
which winks at you,
from time to time.

old memories revive,
when elvis, rocked us,
and ballads of tom jones
felt as if sung for us!
when cliff richards
and jim reeves, filled
all our time.

we danced to la bamba,
twisted to black superman.
and listened to classics,
with a fervour of timelessness!
when i could forsake all
but not my music!

memories of usha iyer, ,
singing in trincas,
and the hippie culture,
which swayed the young,
when jimmy hendrix,
had his day.
loud music,
made all sway..

not to forget a frank sinatra,
who sang,
i did it my way.......

all this music,
still get sold,
though branded as old
now they are discs of gold! !

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Me too Ritty! I love all the wonderful music, most of which survives today. I have recently acquired some of Elvis Presley's gospel music and it soars to my soul. Music cleanses the soul of the dust of everyday life and your poem did it for me today! Thanks for the memories.....10 love Karin

Yes I am able to relate my days studying in The Calcutta Boys' School, - Sr.Cambridge in 1962! Cliff Richards was from Cal & so was Pat Boon, - gone & settled in Australia! I have CDs of Frank Sinatra here! I am very fond of classical Jazz & have written - 'The Story of Jazz' - on page 5! THANKS for stirring old pleasant memories! 10 +++ -Raj
