Yesterday’s prompt was to write a poem from a songlist.

My musical tastes are a bit unusual. Most of the music I listen to at the moment is on dig.ccmixter.org. My current favourite is the vocalist ciggi burns. The randomly-generated playlist came up with

One for Me, The Only Love I Ever Needed, Still Water, How Lucky I Am,

The Drunken Sailor’s Plea To The Hooker and Small Back Room.

Here’s the poem I came up with:

The drunken sailor’s plea to the hooker.

How lucky I am!

The only love I ever needed was             to be

lost                                                             at sea,

found                                                 in still water.

you please me for a minute

in a small back room

yet that deep water

between                                                 lands

will sustain me

for a lifetime.

The one for me

is the sea…
