Today's prompt was to rifle through our junk drawers taking notes and then listen to a favourite song and take notes, and then combine the two to make a poem!
With thanks to Van Morrison, Nick Drake, Brandi Carlile.
Harmonies
Amethyst avenue,
boulevard of broken dreams.
Meet me halfway
on the sunny side of the street.
Pink moon evening
into the mystic,
time unspooled
in a mother-of-pearl mirror.
Oh I wish we had
a waltz in a penny store;
elastic band of memory
stretching forevermore.
Harmony rising
hairbrush pining.
Taffeta skirts
and chandeliers shining.
Hopskotch on stars
chalk lines on tarmac,
you and me
ampersand elegant.
Papier-maché hearts
in a drawer, dying.
Trinkets, tarnished.
Gypsy soul, sold.
Love will find a way…
Moonglow afterparty.
We were born
to know the light.
