Recently, a song has been repeatedly surfacing in the random shuffle playlist on my phone. It's a tiny little piece of lyric begging for me to write something, either with it or in response to it. It's really nothing fancy, just a phrase that's strung together in a way that makes me smile when I hear it. It got me thinking... let's go back to song lyrics. We haven't worked with songs in awhile.
I have been trying to decide on buying some tickets to a concert lately. There are a few acts coming into town that interest me. One of them is The Marshall Tucker Band with Charlie Daniels Band. It'll probably be a great show, but I've decided against it because of the price and the venue. Anyway, I guess I have Marshall Tucker on my mind because this prompt is to write anything you want inspired by something you heard in a song- a love song, or any song. Use a lyric exactly, twist some of the words around for a found poem, find inspiration in a melody, or use a line as a story starter. Whatever you want. Just have a little fun with it. (You'll have to wait to see the one I'm using.)
Warning: You're likely to catch an ear worm.
Here's a little inspiration from TMTB.
