As forms of creative expression, music and poetry share similarities in the usage of sound and rhythm to generate emotional resonance. Musicians and poets have often expressed their mutual admiration, and even collaborated with each other. Read [3] the poem “Don’t You Wonder, Sometimes?,” from Tracy K. Smith [4]’s collection Life on Mars (Graywolf Press, 2011), with its many references to David Bowie [5], or watch [6] an animation of Charles Bukowski’s “The Laughing Heart” read by Tom Waits. Then write a poem of your own inspired by the mood or themes of a favorite musician or song.
