A collection of rock 'n' roll legend Elvis Presley's personal notes and poetry is set to hit the auction block.

The handwritten messages include a poem in which the 'Jailhouse Rock' icon describes smashing a robin perched on his windowsill, reported Contactmusic.

"He sang his sweet song so sweetly and paused for a moments lull/ I gently raised the window and crushed his skull," it read.

Presley's copy of Kahlil Gibran's book The Prophet will also go under the hammer at the Omega Auctions sale in Stockport, England, on March 9.
