Mad World - Tears For Fears


Here's a taste of music from my high school years. Alternative. I still love this. Words and lyrics with depth.... I am thinking this kind of music influenced my own writing.

Blog City – Day 371

Prompt: Clouds
“Clouds are thoughts without words.” Mark Strand
What do clouds mean to you?

Clouds are the wisps of memory, fleeting.
Sometimes dark and heavy they may drip or drown us in torrential rain.
Sometimes light and billowy, floating through casting only a shadow on our day.

Like the days of our life,
We experience perfect blue skies without a blemish of cloud
Other times we are shrouded in thick fog and cannot find our way.
Some days are spotted with dappled puffiness
And others hang dark and dismal
Such as life.

Blog City – part two...

Create 2 stanzas of a rhyming poem... that begins with Ode. Each stanza must be 4 lines, you choose if all lines rhyme or if you want create couplets. I hope you'll be able to make us experience your favorite food just the way you do...

Ode to Pizza

Sweet tomato sauce covered with glorious cheese
Heavenly scent that is all that you please
Toppings of veggie and meat, a delight
Oh how I wish we could have you tonight.

My favourites are olives, with mushrooms and tomato
My husband favours meat with glutenous gusto
We compromise and settle on both
But tomatoes and olives they goeth...

I will admit the first stanza is better than the second and now all I want is pizza and it is not even 10 in the morning.
