Tanka
Pan Soar
From humble beginnings
Licky ting licky tang
Sweet titilating sound
Of bottle and spoon
To laurels of orchestral heights
Among the lilputs of society
Labelled with the castaways
Merging and rising
To higher levels
Standing tall between giants
Burgeoning through ocean and sky
Soaring to far away lands
Responsibility riot and disorder
Measuring territorial distance with discord
Crossing the line
Into wine and jam
Gyrating straight through University
To stimulate entertain reward and merit
Pan really reach
I wrote "Pan Soar" in May 2000
This poem is in celebration of the Steel Pan:
