Oh yeah, I wanna be a big rock star
As a writer of depth, read near and far
Buy lots of charcoal to paint my eyes
Wearing diamonds that are Texas size.
A limousine to take me to my reads
Two gentlemen wearing clothes that tease.
I wanna invent my own poetic fashion
As the lights on stage start to flashin'
I want roses at my feet when I depart
And the media repeating “that girl’s smart~”
Oh yeah, I wanna be a rock star!
Oh yeah, I wanna be a rock star!
Give up this life for fortune and fame
Dye my hair and nails
‘cause Dragon Blue’s my name.
Oh yeah
Poets all wanna be big rock stars
As writers of depth, read near and far
Buy lots of charcoal to paint our eyes
Wearing diamonds that are Texas size.
Oh yeah, I wanna be a rock star.
Oh yeah, I wanna be a rock star!
I wanna live like a hermit without a telephone
‘cause I don’t wanna be disturbed when I moan
I wanna reach the youth living in the world today
So that maybe peace and justice will come away ...
Create a future of the planet without wars
Spreading love around on worldwide tours
Oh yeah, I wanna be a big rock star
As a writer of depth, read near and far
Buy lots of charcoal to paint my eyes
Wearing diamonds that are Texas size.
Give up this life for fortune and fame
Dye my hair and nails
‘cause Dragon Blue’s my name.
Oh yeah, I wanna be a rock star.
Oh yeah, I wanna be a rock star!

Reads Like A Song!
Your poem aptly describes fame; that wonderfully elusive goal all writers (Poets, novelists, lyricists, and greeting card writers) hope to achieve. It is aptly titled and executed. Congratulations!

What a need you would fill in the musical world, "as a writer of depth!" But would Joe Q. Public have the sense to recognize your brilliance enough to throw roses?
Love the "Texas size diamonds." Great goals, to promote peace and justice, love and an end to armed conflicts.
Best of luck!

This shows your high spirit in all its glory!
I truly envy this kind of talent..
half-parody, half-deep poetry; combining
true meaning with rhythm and glitter!
You go Girl..., get out there and change the
world. Paint it glorious blue and bring me
along too. Blue

Oh, but you have this kind of talent my friend. Your writes are fantabulous and some day I expect to see your poems in their own book with a picture of you on the back cover and short bio.
Blessed Be~

You make Nickleback envious! This is so cute! And poets will save this world,or die trying to. Wonderful work and so inventive.
-
-
Yeah, you're correct. We will die trying to change the world, for what else is worth dying for if not truth, justice and honor?
Blessed Be~

I love it! Made me smile and made me think. Definately a good poets' version of Rockstar. Kept to the songs rhythm pretty well too.

Wearing diamonds that are Texas size.
this line is both enduring and a crack up to me... we have this saying in our family about people who have diamonds and jewels stuck all over them so you can radiate in their gotty glow from a mile a way as people "dripping with diamonds" its funny how we equate that to water. i like that you tied it into your parody song so well. i am a bit slower to find teh charcoal but i think it is a metiphore in that even though your all that glitters the inside of a poet is private and internal and deeply metiphorical and more like the thing you miss over when looking at the diamonds. or perhapthose are the diamonds and the charcoal is the rock star... hmmm nice thought that

All rock stars have a way of placing that mask they show the camera, and in essence, that is what the charcoal represents. The diamonds have the same effect as the mask, they have the rest of this society gaping in awe. When in actuallity it is all just one big charade. That is my thought on your contemplation of my rendition of Rockstar by Nickleback.
Love & Light!

I love it..
What a great idea..
I believe dragons can sing and I think these lyrics prove just that...!
"I wanna live like a hermit without a telephone
cause I don’t wanna be disturbed when I moan
I wanna reach the youth living in the world today
So that maybe peace and justice will come away ..."
Wonderful write..
Many blessings
