Last month a prompt was the word Cardigan. It appeared in a song by a famous singer songwriter. I took the word and remembered the band The Cardigans, fronted by the lovely Nina Persson. I remember seeing the Cardigans back in the day when they were starting out. They were a huge hit in Japan, before Europe and America picked up on their music.
So I took a bunch of song titles and wrote a poem. It started with the a song I could remember first and you can read that poem and some of the comments here on my publication.
I would not even know if this is a copyright issue as the lines are all quotes from titles. We all like our music and we have different tastes in music.
Let’s dedicate the month of May to write poems about favourite bands by using song titles only. My understanding is we can use song titles, don’t change them in anyway and don’t talk badly about the band/song if you wish to stay out of trouble.
Each day in May will have a letter assigned. So, in alphabetical order. Today it’s a band or singer starting with H.

THE HOLLIES
It was the VERY LAST DAY of the Closing Down Sale at the Department Store.
The prices would be SO DAMN BEAUTIFUL.
But there were TOO MANY PEOPLE, so after about an hour of wading through crowds and fighting to even TOUCH a bargain, LUCY suggested we should just forget it and head back to the BUS STOP.
She was so determined not to STAY, that a voice in my head kept telling me SOMETHING AIN'T RIGHT.
It turned out the reason she'd wanted to come here was because everyone was loaded with cash - cold hard cash she made sure every STRANGER we'd brushed past was SEPARATED from.
"WHAT KIND OF GIRL ARE YOU?" I asked, DRAGGIN' MY HEELS in stunned disbelief as we began walking back down the LONG DARK ROAD that was waiting for us outside.
"A rich one", she replied, with a wink... 😎
