Carlos Alberto - d. October 25th 2016

I see you, O Capitão,
bombing through
on the overlap,
on legs that never tire,
in a team that never loses,
under a sun that never dims.

Pete Burns - d. October 23rd 2016

All I know is that, to me, 
you looked like a decade
spun round, spun out,
alive, alive, alive, dead.

Bobby Vee - d. October 24th 2016

I saw you 

with my thousand eyes

across the Clear Lake, crawling

from another man's wreckage.

Today you bounced 

one last time,

never came down.

Jimmy Perry - d. October 23rd 2016

We trust history 

to script itself,

but to capture

its platoons of tigers

its malarial troupers,

its faded entertainers,

we volunteered you.

Jean Alexander - d. October 14th 2016

The look

Rosa Klebb in a turban

The stance

Boadicea on a diet of nettles

The sound

A pack of feral Scouse cats

The taste

Woman, Stanley, woman

Rod Temperton - d. October 5th 2016

In the suburbs of sound
your endless groove
was always the best in town,
and if we needed to get up
you helped us get down.
