Song—Ovi Poetry Challenge


We used to sing a simple song
and both of us would sing along.
Though it was soft with lyrics strong
we sing that song no more.

Though other songs have come and gone
the songs that I still linger on
are soft and simple, deeply drawn
from one song long ago.

Ronovan Hester offers the inspiration “thankful” for this week’s Ovi Poetry Challenge. Also posted at Poet’s Corner.

This poem now also appears on Spillwords.

I wrote this poem in the Ovi form after listening last Friday evening to Jimmy Webb‘s song MacArthur Park sung by Richard Harris before I knew this week’s inspiration word. I am thankful for all the songs.

Happy Thanksgiving

I enjoy walking, poetry and short prose as well as taking pictures with my phone.
