Haiku & Other Poetry, History, tutto e niente

turn to stone

stop hiding your face

silently wishing for change

turn to stone no more

Thanks to Ronovan Writes for the word prompts (face / change) that fit perfectly with the  Sunday Photo fiction prompt. Photo courtesy of Pixabay

Not sure if I’m interpreting the lyrics as intended but they inspired me as well …

Turn To Stone (written and performed by Joe Walsh)

Hey now, the well run dry
Pages of your book on fire
Read the writing
On the wall
Hoe down, it’s a show-down
Ev’rywhere you look, we’re fighting
Hear the call
And you know it’s gettin’ stronger
I can’t last very much longer
Turn to stone
Well there’s a change in the wind
You know the signs don’t lie
Such a strange feelin’
And I don’t know why it’s takin’
Such a long time
Backyard people
And they work all day
Tired of the speeches and the way
That the reasons keep changin’
Just to make the words rhyme
And you know it’s gettin’ stronger
Can’t make ’em run much longer
Turn to stone

when dreams were purple

smoke on the water

riffing on a new guitar

teenage fantasy

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This prompt immediately brought me back to middle school when every aspiring teenage rock band played this song. Aaah the memories of being at dances in my seventh grade gym listening to a group of eight-grade boys rock this tune.

Wow. The line is out the door. I guess dying young will do that. Everyone you know is still alive.  

At least it’s not raining.  

Finally. Through the door! Damn. It’s like the line for Space Mountain. At least there’s music. Hmmm? What’s that song?  

What a Wonderful Life.  

That’s perfect. I love this song.  

Wait. Are they playing it again?

🎵 I see trees of green

… 🎶

Again?!

🎵

AGAIN!

🎵 

I HATE THIS SONG.

🎶 red roses too 🎵 

Finally.  

“I am sorry for your loss.”

Done!

Sweet Silence.    

Hummm🎶 “what a wonderful world” 🎵 

NO!!!

Dare to Dream

Just a girl they say

Just one more pop wanna be

Just watch me she says
