I decided to take the inspiration and write. They’re lyrics are beautiful. Any who, I’m not looking to be anything like them. Here is just a poem about love and life.
Author note: I don’t claim to be an expert. Just writing because that’s what we as writers do… write what we feel. Would you push me on the tire swing
Let the wind rush through my hairBare feet hanging in the air
Backyard filled with laughter
Would you take me to a picnic
Hopping to the finish line in the potato sackPopsicle stains on my white t-shirt
Washing off in the cold lake water
Would you take me to the ocean
Splash the water as big drops fallSun kissed hair soaked
Leaving with chapped lips and tans
Would you take me to a country bar
Teach me how to two-stepHold me tight and swing me round
Kissing me all the night
Have your own you’d like to add?

I love the Band Perry! I love those lyrics. Such great imagery.
I love the Band Perry too! My husband hates that song, though. LOL. He's like, "Would I catch a couple fireflies? Walk a hundred miles to fill your jar with sand? Are you kidding me, PRINCESS?" But I love that song and agree the imagery is incredible. :)
Aw, your poem is beautiful! You've matched their imagery so well. Yay for the rodeo! And now I want to go two-stepping. :)
Howdy stranger.
Glad you and hubs had a great time!
Your lyrics are wonderful and packed with great imagery. Well done.
I hope you're doing well... I think it's time for a chat... don't you?
I hadn't heard of the Band Perry.
Lovely poem - love the backyard filled with laughter!
It's good to see you back writing.
No, but I bet you can come up with a great story to accompany that poem!
Great lyrics!
Aw! Love the poem Jen!
I was just thinking the other day about songs and lyrics. I'm amazed at how they are strung together to create something powerful. Love it. ;)
Wow, I love the poem. It really just inspired me. And I haven't heard of the band Perry, am I lame?

Love it, and I'm sure its the Tire Swing reference but it made me think of the song "Tire Swing" as sort of an accompaniment.
Awesome - loved the imagery you evoked! :)
Cute, and thoughtful Jen. As always:)
A poet, I am not, though I do love it so! I use music every day to inspire my writing. It is the one thing I can always count on to motivate me. One song inspired me to write an entire book! And I just sold it, too! So here's to music and lyrics!
In school I never thought much of poetry until my teacher asked me if I liked music on the radio. When she explained that was essentially poetry my jaw dropped and I fell in love.
That was great, Jen! Nice, strong images. Loved it!
I haven't heard of them, but I loved your poem so I'll have to go check them out.
Never heard of them. Of course, I may have heard their song and just didn't know who it was. Just stopping in to say hi. HI!!
Oh, tire swings!! I love that. And yay! You're writing again! Many happy writing vibes to you~ :o) <3
