A piece of poetry written as homage to Prince, aka Prince Rogers Nelson (June 7, 1958 – April 21, 2016), an American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and record producer. This piece combines words and lines from Prince's lyrics - could be used in schools for the purpose of showing alternative poetry which combine the lyrics with the more traditional form. I was really into Prince as a teenager, aged 11 when the film Purple Rain was release in 1984. At the time (and still) I was influenced by anything different/unique and I was particularly captivated by American TV and film. As I writer I respond to the internal and seem to express more as an internal requirement, i.e. I have to pour out on a regular basis. This has led to compiling poetry, plays, books and anything involving The Word. Go crazy!! This is the 100th resource I have uploaded. The resource Author is available to provide any further information if required by teachers/schools on this or any resources. Kind regards Tor
