1911

some of these days
put your arms
around me, honey
all alone

my beautiful lady
I’m falling in love
with someone else
addio, goodbye

life’s a funny
proposition, after all
the photo of a girl
I’ve left behind

.

Day 79 of 100 of an intricate challenge that combines my love for music and my desire that some day I will write yet again. The poem above is a collage of song titles that topped the charts throughout the year 1911. My fantastic goal is to create one “collage poem” every day for 100 consecutive days.

Los Angeles, 2013
