NaPoWriMo Day #1

Because I am seriously lacking in inspiration right now after fighting the flu for a week, I am using the writing prompts from ReadWritePoem.

The prompt was to take the first five songs from your iPod shuffle and use them to compose a poem. We were not to change the wording or rearrange the titles; they had to be intact, although we were allowed to add punctuation. Here's the result. I am not thrilled yet, but I see some potential. Can you find all five song titles??? Would love to say there is a prize in it for you, but there isn't -- beyond my respect. ;)

Would love your comments!

Shuffling

I know you were waiting
for me to take
a first step

A step towards something
blue and green
maybe gold

I do
crave the colours,
the experience

But still you wait to take me
to the river of sapphire
bottle green

But you will wait
a thousand years, a thousand
thousand years

For that step,
while I watch
patio lanterns
