We were asked to write a poem incorporating song titles from our favorite albums. Showing my age here, but…
AMERICAN BOOKENDS
Voices of old people in the park
Old friends haunted by a hazy shade of winter
At the zoo, Punky’s dilemma lingers
as Mrs. Robinson cries, “Save the life of my child!”
Like it or not,
we’re all fakin’ it in America
Our lives are bookends:
Beginnings and overs

from all-time fave album (vinyl) Simon & Garfunkel’s “Bookends”

Very clever. S & G wrote some fabulous songs.

Garfunkel is underrated because he is so low-key and not a self-promoter. While it’s true Simon wrote most of their material, time has shown that Art Garfunkel was, in effect, his muse. Also, Garfunkel’s solo endeavors, while not as commercial as Simon’s, are works of art. Thanks, Viv!

This is a prompt I would like to try. I did something similar to this but it ended up as separate poems not all in one. Brett
