She was the little honey
And every man’s delight even a lady or two
Pretty girl with eyes as green as emeralds
She lived in Electric Ladyland
Where the landscape was filled with tulips
every colour, multihued
She was the little honey
And spoke only tales of mystery and imagination
A voice just like the songs heard
only in your heart
liquid mercury floating in the air
He came to her and told her things
Like the revolution starts now
He took her hand in his
He led her to the Purple rain
Oh the little honey say bye bye
*Process notes: I ended up with quite the eclectic assortment here.
Electric ladyland -Jimi Hendrix
The revolution starts now – Steve Earle
Purple rain – Prince
Little honey – Lucinda Williams
Tales of mystery and imagination – Alan Parson’s Project

Pamela, this pooem has a good feel, beautiful the way it is put together.
ReplyDeleteLove it that you used repetition, I tried that too, never been my strong suit, but i love the way your piece moves and the surrealistic imagery feels so right. GJ!
ReplyDeleteLove this poem Pam!
ReplyDeleteYou did have an eclectic mix, and you embraced it, adding your own surreal images like the liquid mercury floating in the air.
ReplyDeleteGreat poem, but now Purple Rain is stuck in my head... I guess that's not such a bad thing.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you come up with for the rest of the month!
Creative use of the prompt.

Purple rain, huh? Cool. Repeating the honey line kept the poem together, if that makes sense.
ReplyDeleteEvelyn,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment. And yes it does make sense.

Pamela -
ReplyDeletethis poem had the effect of causing me to see vivid art like old vinyl album covers - so much talent on your iPod. Looking forward to hearing (and seeing) more from you.

Hi Pamela, thanks for checking out my poems. Nice job on this--thought you did a good job of subtly working in the song titles. btw, Flaubert is adorable(;
