***The night goes into morning—
***What’s the point in putting it down?
***I remember all my life raining down as cold as ice—
***With you there’s heaven—
***Ain’t no time to grieve—
***I’ve been alive forever—
***I can’t laugh and I can’t sing--
***Music too magic to end—
***I feel a change coming—
***When will our eyes meet—
***Left each other on the way—
***Singin’ to the world—
***The tears are in my eyes are in my mind and nothing is rhyming—
***Who could ask for more—
***I’m finding it hard to do anything—
***Playin’ hide and seek with hearts—
***I;m young again, even though I’m very old—
***and baby they’ll be dancing in the streets—
***Yesterday’s a dream-I face the morning—

If you like this I'll tell you where all the lines came from. It's a hoot!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure it's a good strategy witholding that information--without knowing, my mind is adrift with this material. Instead of being able to focus on what's in front of me, I keep wondering what it is I'm reading.
ReplyDeleteTo me, these read like random lines taken from pop songs, and like all pop songs most seem to have to with Love, but for me there's no sense or irony unfolding or a story being told in bits and pieces. Sorry!
Oh well it was a good try, rewrites right until the bitter end!! (LOL) I actually don't mind the rewrites,they are a good learning experience. I have to say though, that the two I read from the examples (the one from the Bush speeches and the one from the comments and posting in class didn't tell me a story. To me they seemed rather like random thoughts with a theme, and that is the direction I took with this. As the saying goes "Better luck with the next one!"
ReplyDeleteWith the Bush piece it's irony and a bunch of very snappy punchlines. The other, in a ragged kind of way, does tell a story or, at least, since it was my comments on her papers, it was one I could follow.
ReplyDeleteThat's the reason you are the professor!! You were right about the pop songs, though it wasn't random. I took the lyrics from 27 Barry Manilow songs and tried to make something good out of it. Imagine how funny it would have been if I had been successful!!
ReplyDeleteMy familiarity with Barry Manilow is not great. To say the least.
ReplyDeleteBarry Manilow!!!???!!!!!
(But I'm not a professor!)
