I have a goal of 50 days - 50 haikus - responding to 50 different songs. These are songs with lyrics that I feel close to. Number Thirty is one of my all time favourites. I entirely related to the lyrics when I was 15. A New England by Billy Bragg
A New England
False stars streak the sky
A heart seeks love, not myth
Still, the birds do sing.
Please check out the great poetry from Paul Stewart and Tina D. Lopez who have joined me for the ride and created some beautiful work:
