Faux Gold
Don’t chase shooting stars All that glitters is not gold Faux gold shimmers, too Author’s Note: Today marks my eighteenth day on the fifty-day song/lyric-based senryū challenge. Today’s poem is inspired by “All Star” by Smash Mouth, though it takes a much different path than their song did. You can listen to “All Star” below. I hope you enjoy both my poem and the song.

Shotgun Wedding
Introduction This is the second album Christine Fletcher had. A compilation for the Sue record label, and I took delivery of a copy this week, with a 14/6 pre-decimal price sticker still on. It cost me slightly more than the 70p decimal value.
