PAN SOAR 

From out of sweat and frustration

From humble beginnings

Licky ting Licky tang

Sweet scintillating music

Of bottle and spoon

To laurels of orchestral heights

Among the lilliputs of society

Labelled with the castaways

Merging and rising to higher heights

Standing tall between giants

Burgeoning through ocean and sky

Soaring to faraway lands

Responsibility riot and disorder

Measuring territorial distance with discord

Crossing the line into wine and jam

Gyrating straight to university

To stimulate entertain reward and merit

Pan really reach 

[i wrote 'Pan Soar' late 1900's. It was first published at my website Patch Work at the cover page in 2001. However, i lost this website.  Pan Soar i also had printed on gift mugs and it was too, published in an anthology by poetry.com.] 

HAPPY WORLD STEELPAN DAY.

 

STEELPAN OCTELLE

Bold and bright a phoenix at will,  

Embers of bottle and spoon still

Smothering, caused so to rise

World class, rejecting demise;

Sweet music recycled from oil

Drums, a merriment coil.

Bold and bright a phoenix at will,  

Embers of bottle and spoon still.
