Rock and Roll Poetry

I was sitting in English class my junior year when the class was given an assignment. Write a pantoum. My friend and I basically took inspiration from the concert we had been to earlier in that school year. (September 5, 2002 - oh my gosh, how do I remember this?) The concert was Incubus with 30 Seconds To Mars as the opening band. Well, amidst all the items thrown on stage someone gave Incubus a "perfectly good right shoe" as Brandon Boyd announced.

This concert also marks the only time we made t-shirts in an effort to prove what devoted fans we were. My sister Rachel regrets this as it definitely proves how sad we are. No matter! On to the poetry!

The Rock Star
by Krystal Sorrell and Sarah Beukelman

The fans screamed
We exchanged a glance
Someone threw a bra
Someone threw a shoe

We exchanged a glance
The opening chords rang
Someone threw a shoe
The light caught his eye

The opening chords rang
He smiled at us
The light caught his eye
He began to sing

He smiled at us
Someone threw a bra
He began to sing
The fans screamed
