And now our (totally optional) prompt. Yesterday’s prompt of saying what you’d never say was sort of a doozy — rather emotionally intense, I think, for a lot of you! So for today, let’s relax. Your prompt for today is simply to take a walk. Make notes — mental or otherwise — on what you see on your walk, and incorporate these notes into your poem. A bit more serene and observational than yesterday, and hopefully a nice, calming poem to begin your weekend with. Happy writing!
OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE SONGS MIXED TOGETHER.
WHAT I COULD THINK OF AT THE MOMENT AND THE SENTENCES I WAS ABLE TO WRITE DOWN.
SITTING IN PUB, FROM PUB TO PUB, FROM PUB DO DRUNK.
THE LIBERTINES.
the boy who liked to kick at the world
the world kicked back a lot fuckin’ harder
i know you lie i’m still in love with you
you can’t stand me now…
have we enough to keep it together?
or do we just keep on pretending
that our luck is never ending?
if you wanna try…if you wanna try
there’s no way else you can do…
oh oh oh
i know you lied all you do is make me cry
( oh all those words that ain’t true… )
can take me anywhere, i can take you everywhere
that you wanna go…
and if i have to go…i will be thinkin of your love
oh somehow you’ll know..you’ll just know…
thinkin of you….i was carried away….
we’ll meet again someday
but my boy there’s a price to pay.
all you can be is given in your hands:
trust in me and take me by the hand.
we will die in the class we were born
but it’s a class of our own my love!
( ignorant faces that bring this town down )
i try to make you see…but you don’t wanna know…
what became of the dreams we had??
what became of forever??
well, we’ll never know.
is it cruel or kind not to speak my mind and to lie to you?
rather than hurt you…
well i’ll confess all of my sins after several large gins
but still i hide from you..
hide what’s inside from you.
and all the memories of the pubs and the clubs and the drugs and the tubs
we shared together…
will stay with me forever!
but all the highs and the lows and the toes and the froes they left me dizzy..
and all the memories of the nights, and the fights and the blue lights
we flew together,
well i hope they’ll fly forever..
i no longer hear the music…
and the love bell rings
when you say you heart still sings
when you are with me
oh won’t you please forgive me?
i no longer hear the music…
and now,
what you are gonna do Katie?
you are a sweet sweet girl
but it’s a cruel cruel world…
my safety pins are none too strong katie…
to hold my life together..
and i never say never yeh i’ll never say never again.
but since you said goodbye…polka dots fill my eyes..
but since you said goodbye…polka dots fill the sky..
and i don’t know why.
with love.
