Medium Poems

Nashville Nights

The neon lights of Music Row
Reflect off the pavement below
As the honky-tonks play their tunes
And the locals dance until noon

The Parthenon stands tall and proud
In this city that’s so loud
And the skyline’s a beautiful sight
On these warm Nashville nights

From the Ryman to the Grand Ole Opry
The sound of music fills the city
And you can feel it in your heart
As you walk these streets after dark

So come on down and join the fun
In Music City, everyone
Because there’s no place quite like this
On these Nashville nights of bliss.

The River’s Song

Oh, Cumberland, your waters flow
Through Nashville, city of music and soul
From your banks we hear the sound
Of guitars, fiddles, and banjos that abound

The river’s song is strong and true
It carries with it memories too
Of Johnny, Hank, and all the greats
Who’ve made Nashville a music state

At sunrise, the mist gently rises
As fishermen cast their lines and dream of prizes
And children skip stones along the shore
As the river whispers a timeless lore

At sunset, the sky turns orange and red
And the river’s song is all that’s said
As Nashville’s lights start to shine
On the banks of the Cumberland divine.

The Hills of Tennessee

Oh, the hills of Tennessee
Where the music sets us free
From the foot-stomping beats
To the soulful melodies

From the Cumberland Plateau
To the Great Smoky Mountains glow
Nashville’s music spreads out
And the hills begin to shout

They sing of the stories lost and found
Of the trials and triumphs that abound
In this land where creativity reigns
And the beauty of nature sustains

So let us raise a glass to this land
And the people who make it so grand
Oh, the hills of Tennessee
How sweet your music is to me.

Long Poems

Nashville, My Beloved Country Music Haven

Nashville, my beloved country music haven,
A place where the melodies of my heart still thrum,
Where the sweet sounds of the guitar and steel guitar
Fill the air with blissful harmony and joy.

Oh, Nashville, dear Nashville, how I love thee!
Thy honky-tonks and bars, thy nightclubs and stages,
All bursting with musicians with golden voices
That lift my soul higher than any angelic choir.

The Ryman Auditorium, hallowed ground,
Where legendary artists have played and sung
And where so many of my favorite tunes were born,
Echoes with the memories of music stars of old.

With each visit to your Opry, I am in awe,
As I catch glimpses of the greatest musicians of today,
Those who’ve earned their stripes and standing ovations
By sharing their talent, their heart, and their soul.

From the Grand Ole Opry to the Bluebird Cafe,
You offer up a plethora of music venues,
Where artists, both novice and seasoned, can play,
Where I can sit back, relax and listen to the sweet sound.

At the Country Music Hall of Fame, I learn
Of the legends, the families, and the rich history,
Of the songs and sounds that have shaped my life
And the lives of millions who love country music.

Nashville, oh Nashville! You’re not just about music!
You’ve got so much more – history, culture, and charm!
From the quaint neighborhoods to the sprawling suburbs,
You are a treasure-trove of all things grand and good.

Your parks, your museums, your art galleries,
Your scenic byways, your hiking trails, your waterways,
All offer up a taste of what makes you so special
And why so many hold you in high esteem and affection.

So, Nashville, dear Nashville, let me sing your praises,
Let me celebrate your one-of-a-kind personality,
With my voice, my heart, my soul, in harmony,
As I declare my love for thee – forevermore.
