Sing it to me

A poetic collection of song titles Based on a BRIEF GLANCE at the picture...

"It's just another sad love song"

Isn't that how it goes?

"Thinking of you"

And who would have known.

 

That I could be replaced

As your "Queen of the night."

That you already had another

"Angel Standing By"

 

I never thought where I lay

Was a "Bed of Lies"

But I'll shed no tears 'cause

"Big Girls Don't Cry"

 

But I won't worry

I'll just "Upgrade You"

And in the end maybe

I won't feel so "Blue"

 

I walk this "Boulevard of broken Dreams"

Thinking of your "Broken Vow"

I will not "Fall To Pieces"

I refuse to "Freak Out"

 

"The Glory Of Love" is simply this

You can be "Going Under",

"Head over Feet" and submerged in bliss

But "Heaven Forbid" it should be put asunder.

 

So "Heres to You"

Go run and "Hide"

You "Hit me with your best shot"

But "I will Survive"

 

When you want to come "Home"

And "I Finally Found Someone" true

You'll have to "Let go of the Stone"

'Cause the chance to "Love Me" you Blew.

 

"P.S. I love you" but "I Learned to Love From You"

 

 

 

Author's Note

The phrases in quotations are all songs, it was inspired by a brief glance at a picture for a contest the picture is the cover art.

Ok going for honesty again. This one I read first and then looked at the pic which actually helped it. While reading I was thinking to myself that the voice of the author is very unclear. Not to be picky but the music a person listens to says a lot about them. And the music a person uses to express themselves says even more about them. I couldn't tell who this person was with some of the song choices, and once again it made it seem a little more contrived. Now when I looked at the pic it made me absolutely LOVE the idea of writing a letter/poem to someone using song titles. That was brilliant. However, you need to let the picture inspire you not only with an idea but with good choices as well. I think you should consider that the picture looks like it may be from the 60's or 70's or of someone who is a fan of that time. Abbey Road is sitting on the bed, maybe you could use all beatles songs in the poem. This line here really threw me off,
"But I worry naught

I'll just "Upgrade You"

That just seemed way out of place, if you know the song. You can't just stick a song title in for the rhyme, it has to mean something, and Beyonce's Upgrade you has no depth in this piece and doesn't make it any stronger. Also the language does not at all match the song choice, someone who says, " I worry naught" would not then use "Upgrade you" of course I'm referring to the nature of the language of that song.

I think the idea is brilliant and the connection with the picture is much better here, I can tell that Idea was inspired by the picture. But I think you could give it another shot and really run with it. Put more thought into the song choices you use, make them mean something, relate them somehow, and also keep in mind what the songs actually say in relation too what you're saying in your piece. This poem alone is good, but with all in consideration, it seems very contrived. Great start though. My rating would be 75%

The 7th one is the best one. On beat and creative in the use of song titles there. At first I pushed back from the screen thinking, "Ah, I see what you did there. Andy Worhaled the s**t out of it." and I scoffed but then I thought shut up and read the damn thing and i liked the 7th one.

Good stuff! I love the idea, and you played this card well. Goes excellently with the picture!! Thanks so much for entering this into my contest. Tell your friends about the contest? :) Once again, fantastic piece... Reminds me of Gym Class Heroes' "Taxi Driver", in which they list a bunch of bands' names all while weaving a little story. It's pretty neat. Great piece.
