Good Golly....You got some eclectic tunes in there, in terms of 12 bar blues.

BB King
Freddie King
Albert Collins
Johnny Winter
Stevie Ray
Clapton
Stones
Beatles
Crowes

Even the Georgia Headhunters.

I understand that you're identifying those songs with the traditional 12 bar rhythm progression. But to call it blues, that means a lot more.
I mean, you are so far off base with your 12 bar blues list, that I don't think posting an individual song link for each artist I mentioned would do any good. I mean, "Hey Santa!" is NOT 12 bar blues, I don't care what the format is. Alright, I will post a good link to one of my aforementioned...enjoy, please! Remember, blues is a feeling, not a time signature.

this is 12 bar blues at it's finest!

What do you think of this poem?

I wrote this poem last night and I'm wondering what you think of it.

…What Seems Like A Dream Deferred

I used to watch videos like Debbie Gibson’s “Only In My Dreams”
Waiting for the part when she wore a certain outfit
A tucked-in T-shirt, denim jacket with sleeves rolled up and belted jeans
appearing only around five-to-ten seconds throughout the whole thing
A sort of eye-candy trickery
like the lottery with more chances than winners

She – or a similar star – would wear regulation outfits
giving just a glimpse of a boy-toy dream
as I imagined myself with a good-looking tucked-in-shirt cutie
Holding hands while eating ice cream at Coney Island
even though I was from California and had not visited New York
until after Coney Island became just a memory
and the song said “Only In My Dreams”

…but the attraction was the video
and the split-second denim-moment fame
The chord progressions and lyrical content was secondary
because wishes are based on exactitudes
however far-fetched they may be
but, regardless of any celebrity possibility…
I would not have minded holding hands with a girl
when she and I were in high school
but I have only understood such a thing now
after all my awkward hesitations have flown away
to be merely substituted with other ambivalences
without the ability to correct my thoughts
and those high-school girls are now married
while I still have the same attitude as back then
because I never had my chance up-to-dating
The tucked-in-shirt style is now considered just a fad
with younger women dating boyfriends with belly fetishes
and I am just another poet writing a poem
hoping for a chance to capture a moment of magic
…the type I should have had when younger
regardless of any of my reasons as to why such did not happen
All I can hope for is a literary complement
and possibly a thumbs-up from a newly-married aesthete
Oh, lucky me!

Its not really a poem but good if you could add some more obvious metaphors, a nice idea to play on the lost love would be to make it a 14 line sonnet (traditionally a love poem).

If you want to keep it like that perhaps call it a selidique (i think thats how you spell it)

What chords are in the 50s progression (or the ice cream changes)?
