07 April 2023: Roger Zelazny Poetry Month: Roadmarks - sung to the tune of Country Roads

Prompt:  Rewrite the lyrics of Country Roads to describe the events of the book Roadmarks by Roger Zelazny

(Verse 1)

Almost heaven, the Road begins

A journey through time, where reality thins

From a dystopian world, to ancient Rome

The Roadmarks take us to places unknown

(Chorus)

Take me on, Roadmarks highway

To the worlds and times, that Zelazny made

Take me on, Roadmarks highway

To adventure and danger, where fate is not swayed

(Verse 2)

The Road winds through dimensions

A path to explore with no apprehension

From the future to the past

The Roadmarks take us very fast

(Chorus)

Take me on, Roadmarks highway

To the worlds and times, that Zelazny made

Take me on, Roadmarks highway

To adventure and danger, where fate is not swayed

(Bridge)

The Roadmarks show the way

To places that don't exist today

From alternate realities to twisted dreams

The Roadmarks can be wild and extreme

(Chorus)

Take me on, Roadmarks highway

To the worlds and times, that Zelazny made

Take me on, Roadmarks highway

To adventure and danger, where fate is not swayed.
