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!
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!!
How powerful girl against god is together with ship to wreck. Very evocative! Thank you Darienne! Love to see how different our Florence poems turned out. Different and great! Thank you!
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! :)

No choir, drumming song
Seven Devils, say my name
Breath of life, my love

Thanks so much. I'm going bite size this time round.
Whatever you do, we love it…
You pack a lot in a small package and that's no easy task, my friend. I salute you.
Beautiful!
So little but such a lot! Bravo Treasa🫶🏻

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

Another band you must see live!
Can imagine but no more for n my bucket list 🤣

You’re right! No waiting around and there are too many gone by now.
Dave Grohls love life poetically narrated. I love this. I wonder if his wife took him back?!
I wouldn’t wanna be anywhere near his shoes…
Yeah he really screwed things up for himself didn't he!!
There's just a lot going on around him... the wife story was the final drop.
Just for a second I took this very literally and thought you were talking about bodily fluids getting on his shoes 🤣
I put a few laughing smiles but apparently they got censored.... while your comment still stands! Hahahahahahahahhahahaha! Hilarious!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Gorgeous! I think Dave Grohl would have loved it.

Florence and the machine is so out there and quirky, this sums her up perfectly.
Wow, this is so beautiful and unique. I love to see the take of different people on the same artist.

Thank you for including some Swedish jazz Lennart! Love this, never heard of Fredrik’s stuff before and a great song title poem too!
🤠 Not som much of him @ Spotify. More on bandcamp, but different record labels… 1 here 🎷

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... 😎
Thank you for bringing out some not so well known Sinatra tunes in this one! Very classy song title poem!
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.
That's so true! Everything he did had an air of style, quality and class about it... 😎👍
I've yet to see Florence and the Machine play live. This poem might be the universe telling me go get some tickets. Breathless and beautiful :)
Same here, never been! Signed up to her newsletter so I can see when she next plays.
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
Nelly’s in the house! Thank you, Kate!
Holy Smokes! That's so raw and impactful. I read it three times.
Thank you Tali - it’s nice to hear feedback xo
You are most welcome! This is fantastic! Now I read it twice more... :) XX
Got Florence and The Machine too
Yes, love it!
My F effort is lost somewhere back on E. The Fratellis.
Rock an’ roll will break your heart!
