Beach Glass
Smooth as beach glass, blue and green
Your notes washed over me like a dream
Beer-bottle brown eyes, a voice rich as cream,
You were smooth as beach glass, baby.
Stretched on the sand just getting cooked
Melting like cheese in a toaster oven
A voice shook my heart, and when I looked
There you sat, just strummin’ and hummin’
Our smiles connected, you reached out your hand
The heart on your sleeve swept me under your spell
Though you slipped through my fingers like fine, cool sand
That week was a secret I’ll never tell
I heard your song on the radio today
My heart flared hot like a rocket blast
Though I still taste your kiss on the ocean waves
I was just one of many from days long past
Smooth as beach glass, blue and green
Your notes washed over me like a dream
Beer-bottle brown eyes, a voice rich as cream,
You were smooth as beach glass, baby.

This is glorious K.
I like the circular format.

Will you please respond with three words so I can try this... PpPlease. :p

Thank you! It's fun to see what unfolds with random words. I've never tried this before, but some friends did it as a songwriting challenge.
Here are some words for you: pine, kidney, spoon. You can conjugate/modify them in any way you see fit. Have fun!

Dear K,
I just tried using your friends words as prompts…
I got Nuthin’!😏
I loved the image of the beach glass. Finding those are equivalent to winning a huge jackpot. Your comparisons of color and object to voicing is wonderful. It lends itself to a whole new vocabulary of thought when describing things. Lovely write! H🌷

Thanks, H! Having never had a torrid affair with a rock star, I have no idea where this came from, but it was fun to dream about.... 😁
The random words are fun. I think the trick is to not try & make them relate directly to each other right away. Just take one and go where it takes you.

..."smooth as beach glass, baby..."
I can hear this poem set to music.
I've been enjoying your work, k.
The 30th still seems so far away but the days are flying and the poetry is fantastic.

Thank you. I wrote it in hopes of someday finding the music for it... so I'm glad it came across that way!
Yes, the sleep deprivation will catch up with me eventually, I'm afraid! But we'll get there...

I could probably cobble together a poem from the words, the singing I’ll leave that to you,
Nice little piece from a prompt, I like that

It was my pleasure I love the dimensions that an audio brings across especially one that is so lovely.

Thanks. 😊 I've added songs to several others in my catalogue recently. I've actually been much more active doing music on Bandlab than I have been here. Writing seems to have dried up....

I know what you mean I hardly write anything since my accident last year, but I try to keep in mind that, if everything perhaps doesn't happen for a reason, every experience has value. I'll check my updates page soon and see if I come across any of your audios.

Yes, there is. Don't ask me to do your taxes or keep anything neat & tidy.
Thank you! This one was a really fun poetry challenge, and I was so thrilled when I was able to turn it into a song.
