RHYMING ROCK
I am a stick of rock
with poetry running through,
many stories in my spine
telling me what to do.
Sticky sweetness of nectar too
bursting from my head
I am addicted to myself
to myself I must be true.

Ray - try the whole album on YouTube - just type in Wishbone Ash New England. Some terrific tracks. Always liked the rather enigmatic album cover.
good linkage from Stu too - haven't heard that track for yonks. Another great band.

Intriguing stuff Ray. You evoked some interesting comments and feedback with this one too.

from one of my favourite bands.
HI David, you pose a physical/metaphysical question - in order to answer I must resort to self cannibalism. Just a matter of taste.
Thanks elP an intriguing parallel there. I am thinking "mermaid" myth connecting with the sea ( where you buy the rock). Hope that meets you half way!
Old Shoes, well spotted, the poem was a sort of trip in a way. No offense, and thanks for troubling.
Colin - what a great track - sends me into more thinking. That's the beauty of comments like yours, often a challenge.

I hope no one takes offense to this, but I think its a really good trip if you know what I mean.

"Lorelei is a feminine water spirit, similar to a siren or mermaid, which is rumored to send sailors to their death, by luring them near cliffs with her beautiful singing voice..
Lorelei, a rock in the Rhine River, the subject of many legends, poems, and songs"

Suki, thanks for your comment. One of those weird ideas I sometimes get without being actually carted off by men in white coats.
Col: Another great clip, and a terrific musical ride Thanks!
