on some deleted poem

closer
really?
The real differnce between the first stanza and the second is what the people at each place are seeing. In the second stanza all of us in LA are watching the bloody, red sun on television. Who goes outside in LaLaLand before sunrise? Oh yeah, sanitation workers, hookers going home to shootup and go to sleep and cops. Personally, I Tivo the 6 AM news just to see the sun.
Sneer!?
This is about loving someone. But WHERE is the love? I don't see it. All I see is the statement of a fact.
'Love, love me do
You know I love you
I'll always be true
So please love me do'...
Lennon/McCartney did in fact a much lousier job, so don't let it get you down, oké?
Finally a luv poem with guts.
I really start to like your stuff. It keeps me reading. Iâve read this, using the âdistractionâ poem as a kind of key â how to concentrate time, guess Iâm sounding a bit pretentious here but who cares.
'It's my party,
and I'll cry if I want to,
cry if I want to,
cry if I want to,
You would cry too
if it happened tohoo youououou'
(1963; a couple of months later)
'And now it's Judy's turn to cry
Judy's turn to cry
Judy's turn to cry-ay-ayyyy
cause Johnny's come baaaack to me'
"o won't she" > or won't she
I hope to be.
Oopz...a typo there. Thanks for reminding me! I will be more cautious next time.
Such a bastard, I am.. Allright- let me show you what one can do with a subject like this.
'I am counting the days
I am waiting for the moment
when I'm going to have to stay in this place
where you will be
no longer
moving
moving away from me without
fading
I am counting your smiles
I already hunger for the ones
that soon will be gone except the one preserved
with photographical sharpness
in my mind
longing
longing already for the rest of you
crying'
If you're interested to know: it cost me 45 minutes, 3 revisions and 8 corrections and I made a mess of the rhyme. But nobody ever said that poetrywriting is easy.
By the way; one of La Gore's mid-sixty recordings was called 'Moving away'... I hope she won't drag me to court.
Awesome...I love it!
I like the rhyming of the poem. It really spice the poem up! Godd job.
