Maudlin

He started with ballad,

He finished with blues,

Tho' his lyrics confined,

My pen to this use.



That refined was the salad,

That articulate the soap,

The refuse it defined,

The hope and the bloke.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

There be many on the path, but a slight swerve is needed at times, even if only to me I be referring. Yeah, I know, we sometimes get a bit down on ourselves.
