Elvis Presly in Aloha From Hawaii, 1973
Elvis died August 16, 1977 at the age of 42
Mister Elvis Presley Sang his songs expressively In Aloha From Hawaii, He sang them just for me, aieee! I was 15 when he sang just for me Straight from Hawaii via TV, My heart skipped a beat, I jumped from my seat, His music had changed my reality. Elvis has now left the building, Gone is the music and gilding; He died much too young, How many songs left unsung?

Chetta, I appreciate your support for my Flash Poetry Challenge (10). Your poem was randomly chosen to be featured in my 'Results' blog, which is now up and running. You accepted the Bonus Challenge, and your Clerimerick Couplets did not disappoint. A FAV for me.

I enjoy this poem. For me, he was O.K., but only O.K. His music has grown on me through the years. It's a good memory to read about.
