DetailsPlease write a poem with the phrase "THEY'RE WRITING SONGS OF LOVE, BUT NOT FOR ME" included in it.
You can use this phrase as a title, but it also has to be in the body of the poem to avoid disqualification. After all the "hype" of Valentine's Day, this is kind of a flip side of "love".....those who did not have "someone to call their own"....this is for you, to get out those feelings of "aloneness" on that day. ~ helena ~ BUT NOT FOR ME (Words by Ira Gershwin / Music by George Gershwin) They're writing songs of love, but not for me A lucky star's above, but not for me With love to lead the way I found more clouds are gray Than any rainy day, could guarantee I was a fool to fall, and get that way I should have known the price, I'd have to pay Although I can't dismiss The memory of his/her kiss I guess he's/she's not, -------------, for me Prizes1st 2nd 3rd 4th & Albert's Award!
