Like the medieval manuscripts say 'Hope in the heart of man lives on lean pasture..' and nobody knows more about that than those who sing the blues.

You are spoiling us ...That is a pair of blue eyes! <br />You are spoiling us on this challenge, Shay, with a second poem that sings of the blues.<br /><br />You have such a way with repetition - you know just which lines resonate the most and need to be said twice. There is a whole lot of wicked magic thrown into this extraordinary love song. The last two lines are killer.Kerry O'Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00720862912375945249noreply@blogger.com
