As with many of my poems, the words just came pouring out onto the paper.\u00a0 One could easily say, &#8220;It practically wrote itself.&#8221; The idea of shaping\u00a0&#8220;Bluegrass&#8221; like a banjo came later when I actually decided to create and publish a book of my poetry.<\/p>\n<p>Some time after the poem had been published locally, an individual\u00a0commented to me that &#8220;mountain music&#8221; and &#8220;bluegrass&#8221; are not the same. I understand this concept. I guess you could say that I employed a bit of &#8220;poetic license&#8221; in the writing.
