FRIDAY WRITINGS # 192,....Poets and Story Tellers United

 SWOON SONGS

PROMPT WORDS
delulu, lewk, broligarchy



lewk at me
i'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree
i've gone delulu
over yewyu
in other words hold my hand
in other words darling kiss me
i've got a crush on you sweetie pie
you do that voodoo
that you do so well

i feel like i'm clinging to a cloud
the mere idea of you
the very thought of you
has me reaching for the smelling salts 
you go to my head
like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew
i'm jumping with joy over the moon
a meet  the carpet sensation
in a moment of swoon

as for the broligarchy
fly them to the moon
and let them do a business deal 
among the stars
hopefully there'll be a collision
between them and  jupiter and mars



A few readers might be familiar with these hit songs from the past in this Mashup Song poem.

  1. It is clever how you used three songs of old as the vessels for three new words. :))

  3. A lovely love poem. Not real sure it fits the rest. Like mine it fits fine because it's there for us to use.
