Unusual in a good way. This poem speaks to an old term and uses it in a new way. Nicely worded

An Ode To Earworms
Doggerel Dave said:
I wish my earworms were as upbeat and melodic as that, Syd. What is your secret, extra sensitive receptors?
Muchly enjoyed.
PS: (preemptive strike) Am well: not quite ready to pop me clogs yet...!

Tess Parks lyrics
Dripping purple lilac
They are the purest
Smoothest
Angels kiss
Viscous velvet vocals
Melding gently
With Anton Newcombe’s
Swirling medley
Fuzzy leather of suede
Coupling silk
and velvet
Harmonic bliss
Softly
Tumbling
Topsy-turviness...
Worries gently eclipsed
Gravelly vocals winding
In an autumn wonderland drive
Asymmetrical symphonies unfold
Imperfect perfection thrives
In winter’s light
The air’s so still
The purest verse
Perched on her lips
The snow’s so white
The flakes so crisp
Falling through
Her fingertips
Imperfection blooms
In swirl and psych
Fractured photons
Caught in sight
A soul folded
Between song
and prayers
Bringing joyous
Tears to eyes
Hi Syd - If that is what you wrote, I\'ll go with it. Comes upon my page in wing bats or something (all incomprehensible symbols). Had trouble with Google translate... Ok - enough of that, I\'m off to find out what this lady is all about... maybe back later...

Spine (90s Kids)
sorenbarrett said:
It only gets worse my parents children in the 1020\'s said it of my generation children in the 1950\'s that I said of my children when they were small in the 1980\'s and they say of my grandchildren just growing out of childhood now. Each generation has its problems and I hear you I would not want to be a child today.

The Heckler (Explicit)
Doggerel Dave said:
Thanks for that, Syd – seen (from a distance and the further the better) a couple during the course of a long and chequered life.
Great write.
Not a bad ending really – he got chucked out. Unfortunately he has probably joined a fascist boys club by now.
But the ones I fear are the totally silent ones – those you never hear from until it is too late…

A rainbow isn’t a rainbow without a grey background.
Your argument re contrast but final entropy does it for me, Syd.

Great stuff, Syd (join the lucky man club) - despite the slightly incongruous Bonnie and Clyde as a header - appreciate the Title and chorus but even so....😜
PS Fine film.

Long spaces - they continue to get longer, for which I cannot be more grateful, Syd.
Relief from the cacophony.😌
Good of you to present something I can agree with.

How wonderful, like a prison fighting for light, rainbows appear only when one feels free, how so remarkably true, I came 2 thousand miles from home to feel my peace. Such wonderful imagery. 🌈

They do say silence is more powerful that speaking...I particularly love the stanza \"Great symphonies/are written/by leaving bars empty.\" I couldn\'t agree more!

Dear Syd, Kudos on every line but this really is in my soul.
They clutch their flags like sacred skin,
wrap rot and rage and hate within.
A pint, a bet, a Brexit cheer
no future grows, but still they sneer.
Kudos on your language your rhyme and your vision. ❤️ 🇬🇧🌹Time to take our flag back for good.

I won\'t demean its effect by saying \"powerful\" - too tame.
This was like riding a bullet train with no brakes...loved it 👏

Great stuff, Syd - also glad to know you are still around.
Always been some ambivalence surrounding flags, and I\'ve seen it change over my (getting long) lifetime.
But don\'t tell me your are patriotic, surely?

Thank you Maxine. I was addicted to anti anxiety medication for ten years. The withdrawal symptoms were terrible. I\'m finally free from them now though.
Glad you enjoyed the poem.
