By Mike Singleton πŸ’œ Mikeydred Published 3 years ago β€’ 1 min read
The Album Sleeve of Manfred Mann's Earthband's "The Roaring Silence"

This is for For Sleepy Drafts Eavesdropping Challenge which you can find out about here, and also for the Vocal Abecedarian Challenge as well.

The music is "Did You Hear What They Say" by Gil Scott Heron

This is an Abecedarian poem with no rhyme but 11 syllables per line. These are lines from songs, coasters, books, authors, and artists, and as such they qualify as Plagiaristic Poetry.
