Old tunes

[metub4]

Ready for a new one? May we try something different? I have been tripping of late through my old tunes and find many memories stirred through the process. They are coming out in my haikus. Loose rules here except for the 5-7-5 standard. Write a haiku about your favorite tune, capture favorite lines from your song, write about your favorite songwriter or however you choose to do it. You can tell what the song is if you like or have your friends guess. Let's have some fun here and bring back some of our favorite tunes. Might be a way of honoring our "heroes" of younger years. Below are a couple of haikus from our prior discussions as examples:

I talk to the wind
time to say goodbye my dear
the wind does not hear

(by Scott Williamson in 'Goodbye and Wind')

OR -

c'mon and touch me
can't you see I'm not afraid
c'mon touch me babe

[Angharad]

John Trudell tellin' it like it is:  "Everything that ever happens is there to make us stronger. And when we understand, our strength gets stronger. And when we don’t understand, our weaknesses get stronger. It’s an inevitability."

That's right, and I don't understand.

it is what it is...
until i can understand
i'll keep suffering

[Angharad]

I SO relate to this. Mystified!

it's a long cold fall
from youth beauty strength and joy...
what's in to has-been

[Angharad]

the riverman knows
there's a ban on feeling free...
it's not meant for me
