Song of Songs
A poem composed of recognizable lines from popular songs
When I saw her standing there
With drops of Jupiter in her hair
I think I love her from head to toe
Bus stays bus goes she stays love grows
Under the boardwalk
*****
Are you going to Scarborough Faire?
Does anybody really care?
Do ya, do ya want my love?
Floating like the heavens above
*****
Come with me to the sea of love
I'll be the hero you're dreaming of
It's so hard to say goodbye
Forget the sun in his jealous sky
In your wildest dreams
*****
Should I stay or should I go?
Alone in a world so cold?
Can you feel the love tonight?
Will you still love me tomorrow?
*****
What becomes of the broken hearted?
I never promised you a rose garden
*****
Let's waste time chasing cars
And now let's only eat guitars
And let your hair fall all around me
Until the sky falls down on me
*****
Do you know the way to San Jose?
Do you really want to hurt me?
Why do I find it hard to write the next line?
You're out of touch, I'm out of time

So many songs to make my heart ache. Well done, Meredith.
This was hard to read, my brain kept scattering off each time I recognised a line.
Especially loved the clever title :-)
Well done!!!❤️❤️💕
