NaPoWriMo Day 10 – song titles

Day 10

Once I was 7 years old
Soon I'll be 60 years old
'Til it happens to you
You'll never know
Little spring showers
2016
It's a blank space
I can't feel my face
Thinking out loud
I taste sugar
My lips are moving
From ship to wreck
I don't wanna fight
Girls just want to have fun
Even God must get the blues
All you need is somebody to love
Hallelujah
What if you were a refugee?



Day 10's prompt challenges us to write a “book spine” poem. This involves taking a look at your bookshelves, and writing down titles in order (or rearranging the titles) to create a poem. Some fun images of book spine poems can be found here.  

I had difficulty with this, I've also assigned this as a creative writing activity whereby kids cut out headlines from newspapers. 

As I was working out, I was watching TV and watched the Moulin Rouge "Your Song" movie scene - YouTube. Perusing my DVD collection I thought, why not create a themed set of song titles? Then I just found the purchased list and saw some possibilities.

little spring shower

Girls just want to have fun
Even God must Get the blues
Somebody to love
Hallelujah
What if you were a refugee

You had a tough challenge for your poems and managed well. Now as for song titles , I don't know any of them.
