Brilliant follow-up. Love the concision. I'm a big fan of short-form poetry. Also love Beck and loved Loser immediately when it came out. Loved the irony of such an accomplished song being also a claim of being a "loser." It kicked my butt - in a good way. It spoke to my own struggles of "no me."
I’m guessing you’ve seen Beck’s cameo appearance in Futurama?
‘I always wanted to be a musician poet who transcends genres as he re-invents them!’
I haven't seen Futurama, but a quick search and Beck's quote hooked me up. Thanks, Edgar!
1.
Musician poet
Transcending genres with ease
Reinventing sound
Blending rhythms, words, and notes
Visionary's art
2.
Boundaries dissolved
Creativity set free
Fearless pioneer
Pushing limits, breaking rules
Redefining art
3.
Melodies and verse
Intertwined in harmony
Genres redefined
A musician poet's dream
Transforming always
That’s the one!

But still, there is a defiance to the song that transcends the "loser", or so I feel.
Anyway, thanks for the good word, Chris!
oh, yes, it's the defiance that makes it truly awesome.
Wow! You relate now! I never loved that song more than this moment! Does that response even make sense. The girl is back, she found her way back.
She did find her way and she found also great company to keep going. Thank you so much fellow pilgrim. 🖤
Maybe
the only loser
is one who reads poetry
and demands that truth
be what mind can understand
instead of what heart can feel
Thank you very much Paul for this little poem. It speaks from the heart.
No losers around here.
No losers for sure!
Excellent follow-up piece!
Thank you Kristine!
