Dog Days Are Over

.

Dog days are over

Shake it out

Hunger Free

You've got the love

.

Howl, Rabbit Heart, Howl

Big God,

What the water gave me

Ship to wreck

.

No choir, drumming song

Seven Devils, say my name

Breath of life, my love

Breath of life.

Come on home

The more poetry I write, the more I realise that the essence is in a few lines, a few words and that saying a lot can be contained in a stanza just you did here. I love a long poem, don't get me wrong. Never heard of Fred again and I'm in love with this. Gorgeous! Thank you for the link. Adore tiny desk. "Little secret Glow" "Come on home" is just gorgeous! Thank you Treasa!

Foo Fighters

.

Dear Rosemary

The deepest blues are back

How I miss you

I am a river

Still

No way back

But, honestly

Show me how

I'll stick around

Come back

.

Dear lover

Free me

I should have known

Love dies young

Make it right

What did I do/

God as my witness

My poor brain

MIA

Shame shame

Times like these

Miss the misery

.

Learn to fly

Home

Happy ever after

Aw the foo fighters! Love learn to fly and the energy in their music. Love this story you tell in this poem. Sign of the times and growing up. Wonderful, thank you Lisa.

Ok. I’ve seen so many. Some multiple times. Radiohead two nights running touring Kid A, but which turned into a mental greatest hits type gig on the second night is a standout. Arctic Monkeys always give an excellent show. And there’s a few there sadly no longer with us. That’s my point. Don’t put it off. If there are tickets available and you’ve always wanted to see a band, just go!! The high from a great gig lasts for days. And the memories are priceless!!

It takes a lot of guts not being on Spotify I guess so kudos to him! Found him on youtube and listened to Rumi! Great track. Just that Treasa got me hooked on Fred again so am listening to that atm! :)

FRANK SINATRA (Poem)

WHEN YOU'RE SMILING,

YOU DO SOMETHING TO ME,

TOO MARVELLOUS FOR WORDS,

THE WAY YOU LOOK TONIGHT,

ALL THE THINGS YOU ARE,

I ONLY HAVE EYES FOR YOU,

COME DANCE WITH ME,

LET'S FALL IN LOVE... 😎

You're very welcome! He was a very classy singer, too. He recorded over 1000 songs, so there was lots to work with! Haha... 😎👍

It's amazing how together, the titles evoke the vibe he had about him and the music he sang. Beautiful and classic.

F is for Furtado

Promiscuous maneater

Turn off the light

I will make you cry

Eat your man baby girl, do it

Fresh off the boat the grass is green

Runaway childhood dreams

Do it maneater

Love bites, I feel you

Afraid I will make you cry

Powerless, say what you want

Say it right

Save your breath

Silencio

Well well, showtime baby girl

Do it, one trick pony

Undercover party

Turn off the light

I will make you cry

All good things come to an end
