Little Honey Napowrimo #1

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

  4. Love 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!

  5. You did have an eclectic mix, and you embraced it, adding your own surreal images like the liquid mercury floating in the air.

  6. Great poem, but now Purple Rain is stuck in my head... I guess that's not such a bad thing.

    Can't wait to see what you come up with for the rest of the month!

  16. Purple rain, huh? Cool. Repeating the honey line kept the poem together, if that makes sense.

  18. Pamela -
    this 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.
