AI Assisted Verse
Marc Bolan with stars in his beard,
Played electric guitar - it was weird.
A mystical, fey sound,
A new genre was found,
Soon the hippy in him disappeared.
A mystical, fey sound,
A new genre was found,
Soon the hippy in him disappeared.
Electric sounds start,
A hippydream turns to glam,
The stars fill his beard.
Micky beats a rhythm,
And glam rock stars start to shine,
With Bolan, they gleam.

Symbolism and References
A beard is a common symbol of age, wisdom and authority across many cultures, from Greek philosophers to ancient Mesopotamian kings. A "beard of stars" could metaphorically describe an ancient, all-knowing cosmic entity.
In Thomas Gray's "The Bard" (1757) a similar celestial majesty is evoked by the lines
Sublime their starry fronts they rear;
And gorgeous dames, and statesmen old
In bearded majesty, appear.
