"knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens" - Jimi Hendrix, all of Jimi’s songs were originally poems that he just out to music and the one that I decided to display as a good example of a song being a poem is The Wind Cries Mary by the man himself, this song displays personification and example would be in the first stanza when he says " You can hear happiness staggering on down the road" and also when he says " yesterdays life". A metaphor in this song i think is when he mentions that " the life that lived is dead" as in to say that that day is done, A good example of imagery in this song is the verse that is "The traffic lights they turn of blue tomorrow And shine their emptiness down on my bed" i find this sentence powerful and it kind of just jumped out at me. The mood of this song it calming almost not only song but poem wise just reading the lyrics I get a sense of tranquil, and lastly the main symbol in this poem is the wind.  

After all the jacks are in their boxes and the clowns have all gone to bed
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street
Footprints dressed in red and the wind whispers mary

A broom is drearily sweeping up the broken pieces of yesterdays life
Somewhere a queen is weeping somewhere a king has no wife
And the wind it cries mary

The traffic lights they turn of blue tomorrow
And shine their emptiness down on my bed
The tiny island sails downstream cause the life that lived is is dead
And the wind screams mary

Will the wind ever remember the names it has blown in the past
And with this crutch its old age and its wisdom
It whispers no this will be the last
And the wind cries mary

~Jimi Hendrix
