Self Portrait in a Dream
Poe-limer-aiku
I went for a walk in the park
For self reflection; inspirational spark
When poetry began to embark:
There one was a writer named Amos
Whose writings were never too famous
He stopped to Haiku
Midsummer breezes
Whispering warmth on my neck
Lost in the sunshine
Some thoughts he would chew
But his haikus, they always seem heinous
While on the walk in the park
I found poetry'd broken apart
And my mind, it wandered 'til dark

"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.

Very, very clever, Amos!
Loved it once again. Beautiful haiku, and funny limericks, haha. Whenever I have a writing-spark in my head when wandering, I always end up forgetting it if I don't write it down. I hope you're able to note yours down; we need more of your writing in this world of ours.
This is super clever and sneakily deep! Poor Amos, though trying his best and still catching strays :)
