From The Blues

When you go to buy a candy bar
And you've lost the dime you had—
Slipped through a hole in your pocket somewhere—
That's the blues, too, and bad!

From Yesterday and Today

Yesterday I was happy.
I thought you was happy, too.
I don't know how you feel today--
But baby, I feel blue.

From Daybreak in Alabama

Rising out of the ground like a swamp mist
And falling out of heaven like soft dew
I'm gonna put some tall tall trees in it
And the scent of pine needles
And the smell of red clay after rain

[senmut]

Thank you.

[silveradept]

From Dust Bowl

The land wants me to come back
To a broken song in October,
to a snowbird on the wing.
The land wants me to come back.

[elrhiarhodan]

It's been a long time and glad to be back!

[pf_mod]

Aaaah, so glad to see you!

From God

Spring!
Life is love!
Love is life only!
Better to be human
Than God—and lonely.

[elrhiarhodan]

I know it's kind of late in the game, but could I get a different fragment? This one is so sweet I can't do anything with it. Something a little more angsty, perchance?

Thank you!

[pf_mod]

Of course you can! I hope this one is more inspiring.

From Homesick Blues

Homesick blues is
A terrible thing to have.
To keep from cryin’
I opens my mouth an’ laughs.

From Hard Luck

If I was a mule I'd
Git me a wagon to haul.
If I was a mule I'd
Git me a wagon to haul.
I'm so low down I
Ain't even got a stall.

Hope

Sometimes when I’m lonely,
Don’t know why,
Keep thinkin’ I won’t be lonely
By and by.

From I, Too

Tomorrow,
I’ll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody’ll dare
Say to me,
“Eat in the kitchen,”
Then.

[alexseanchai]

one of these years I really will get something to click long enough to write a thing, and hopefully that year is 2025

[pf_mod]

I'm cheering for you!

From Love Again Blues

Tell me, tell me
What makes love such an ache and pain?
It takes you and it breaks you--
But you've got to love again.

[kalloway]

May 2025 be less of a dumpster fire for kalloway! (And Everyone!)

[pf_mod]

We need that positive energy in the universe!

From Sailor

He sat upon the rolling deck
Half a world away from home,
And smoked a Capstan cigarette
And watched the blue waves tipped with foam.

[chibifukurou]

From I Look at the World

I look at my own body
With eyes no longer blind—
And I see that my own hands can make
The world that's in my mind.

[chibifukurou]

Thought I was in hell.

From Mother to Son

Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.
It’s had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor—

From The Negro Speaks of Rivers

I’ve known rivers:
I’ve known rivers ancient as the world and older than the flow of human blood in human veins.

My soul has grown deep like the rivers.

From Theme for English B

Well, I like to eat, sleep, drink, and be in love.
I like to work, read, learn, and understand life.
I like a pipe for a Christmas present,
or records—Bessie, bop, or Bach.
