take care of you when you’re passed out
right there with you in your glass house
Don’t put your trust in walls
because walls will only crush you when they fall
right there with you in your glass house
Don’t put your trust in walls
because walls will only crush you when they fall
you made a rebel
of a careless man’s careful daughter
don’t lose your faith in me
and I will try not to lose my faith in you
don’t lose your faith in me
and I will try not to lose my faith in you
if you believe they put a man on the moon
these are the days of miracle and wonder
he makes promises and keeps them
this is a long distance call
yes, this is a Sunday School for Sentences writing exercise (for tomorrow). Take five or six songs, pick the most compelling sentences from each song, and mash ‘em up into a poem.
IMHO: Great sentences are good in any context.
PS Yes darling, I’d LOVE it if you pasted your found poem into the comments. Please do. xoxo
