A Poem about Hank Williams. Just a short one because most of the poems I write are very short. A nasal whine that sounded like The whistle of a train; But held such a compelling note That made it sustain In the hearts and minds of men and women like the memory of pain. |
Nice and neatly said
Written by EliudGonzalezNunez (2 comments posted) 19th July 2005 | Williams died of back pain, after operations that tried to stiffen his back to ease his ailing back's bones.
Ordinarily, I'd say line 4 "That made it sustain" has no poetic-flow in the position it's occupying - I might ordinarily say that it even stiffens on the tongue - makes the tongue trip on the words.
But in this case, it's neat. neatly-nice - it's "like the memory of the pain".
