    OH SNAP!!!

    September is one of my all time favorite songs Michael,
    so this poem just did it for me today!

    The style and the way you formatted this piece, made this poem!

    One suggestion I have, is placing it in miscellaneous... it has many genres within... my opinion..

    LOVE LOVE LOVE this poem!

    Hey, I am glad you like it. I have taken your advice and changed it.

    Do you think mentioning 'Maurice' in the last line is too much?

    No its not too much Michael,

    Its a tribute to him.. I feel it ties in perfectly with the poem...

    This is a simply magic write, rich in description and imagery and as ever, beautifully laid out and written. Nominated.
    All the best,

    I recently started listening to some songs by this band. A few months ago I met the original bass player from the band Black Oak (Arkansas) and he told us stories and talked about their crazy shows with Earth, Wind & Fire, the Eagles, Rare Earth (I think is the name). Anyway, he was a pretty cool guy and I ended up searching BOA music which lead me to these other bands. Now I'll listen to "September" with a new appreciation.

    Lovely tribute. :)
