Poetry- Where Have You Gone?

Lyric of the week- Cactus Tree

CACTUS TREE, 

JONI MITCHELL

She loves them when she sees them

They will lose her if they follow

And she only means to please them

And her heart is full and hollow

Like a Cactus Tree 

While she's so busy being free 

This lyric is heart breaking and beautiful and relevant. 

It speaks volumes when songs from such a long time ago (1968) are still completely applicable to people's problems and experiences today. 

Chortle and Chuffed: Music Puns Are The Best Kind

I find this (probably) unreasonably funny. 

To add to the list of the things that make me chortle and chuffed: 

The hybridisation between classic musicals and 80's pop chart hits. 

GOLD. 

This made my Monday so much better. 

Style Stealing: Beverly Hills 90210

I had a 90's throwback today, inspired by my (guilty) pleasure of watching Beverly Hills 90210 re runs...

I love how effortlessly Kelly Taylor pulls off socks and tights/boots! 

I am currently obsessed with tying a jacket/cardigan around my waist, too.

It works kind of like a belt to cinch in a baggy dress/shirt and give it some shape.  

Here we go: 

And scrunchies! So much respect for scrunchies. 

Poetry, 8/8/14

Here is my next poem, I hope you like it :)

Flash back Friday: Oh! Freedom na na yeah

GUESS WHAT!
Did you guess?
It's always more fun when people actually guess instead of just being like, 'what?!'

Fine, I'll tell you.

I got my licence!!!




YAYAYAYAYAYAY.

Hence the Aretha Franklin song reference in this post's title ;)
