her songs possess timeless wisdom
rife with truth though sometimes tragic
they illuminate those who listen
her songs possess timeless wisdom
and moments of honest indecision
they illuminate those who listen
with the light of her inner vision
her moments of honest indecision
uncover beautiful nuggets of life
while the light of her inner vision
reveal insights sharp as a knife
those beautiful nuggets of life
rife with truth and sometimes tragic
provide insights sharp as a knife
lady blue is musical magic

This is done to perfection, Rob. Great characterization.
I believe we can all relate to this part:
her moments of honest indecision
uncover beautiful nuggets of life
This is how a great poet works, and Joni is a fine example.
honest indecision and inner vision, i salute how you paired the two, your pantoum is precious, a touching tribute to an amazing artist and a work of art itself.
Thank you Gina, you are most kind! 🙂 Joni is a treasure.
lovely poem!
Really enjoyed this. Joni is an old favorite of mine.
Good capture of her complexity.
Thank you.
Joni is a living musical icon and, as you said, we benefit from experiencing her work. A wonderful tribute to Miss Joni Mitchell, Rob.
Thank you Jade. Joni has been mistress of my heart, ever since she released “Song To A Seagull, in 1968.
She sure is!
Yes she is Rosemary… 🙂
I love Joni, and have written more than one poem in her honor. Yours is a fitting tribute.

Thank you Kerfe! The Lady Of The Canyon is so inspirational, i have written about a half dozen poems inspired by her, or her music, since she first released “Songs For A Seagull” in 1968. The amazing Lady Of Heart and Mind, the magical Lady Blue. I have had a lustful crush on her for 50 years. She came up hard in her youth, with the years of polio and related isolation, being coerced into giving up her daughter born out of wedlock – but she is the goddess from the north country.
