1968

turn around
look at me
this guy’s in
love with you

angel of the morning
hold me tight
you are all I need
to get by

Day 51 of 100 of challenge that combines my love for music and my optimistic thinking that some day I will write yet again. The poem above is a collage of song titles that topped the charts in 1968 when Stanley Kubrick’s mesmerizing 2001: A Space Odyssey was released.

My simple yet challenging goal is to create one “collage poem” every day for 100 consecutive days. Results so far have been mixed, however, I have yet to miss a day and I can easily admit that I am feeling a tiny sliver of a change taking place within.

    1. Thank you, rockstar Allison! It was truly a magical outing with my sup. If you ever plan on traveling to Italy try to make some time to visit the northern part of lake Garda. It’s breathataking! The town itself is surrounded by majestic Dolomite alps on three sides and a beautiful lake Garda on the other. Amazing food, amazing hiking trails, amazing water adventures, and of course marveloous architecture of all the settlements that are peppered all around. All in all a definite “bucketlist” destination. ❤❤❤

      2. Ha! There’s so much to discover and experience that we’d need multiple lives to see at least a fraction of it all. This place is definitely one of the places you’d want to be among those that fall into the fraction I mentioned above. Of course I forgot to add that the food and wine offered there are pretty much to die for too… 😉❤️
