Another remarkable peom; quite a few lines stirred memories for me, especially the line from Fly Me to the Moon. Ah, what became of that Canadian boyfriend of mine, all those years ago when I was in my early twenties? He and I met at a holiday resort here in Australia and went to Bermuda and New York together. I called a halt to the relationship, and there have been other loves, but he still lingers in my heart.....occasionally the memories return. Just the line of a song, unexpected in a poem, can call them up like yesterday. I'm sure others have stories like this, the lost love that never quite worked out. As Frank might sing...It was just one of those things.
I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving. I remember that holiday well from the 18 months I spent in New York, all of 58 years ago, but I have visited again on three occasions since. I love that city.
What a fabulous comment, Glenys. I wonder of you have ever felt the urge to find out what happened to your lost love? He might be living in the next town!🤣 Isn’t it strange how we formed those very passionate relationships and then they were just lost forever in a flash, I too remember one boy in particular I met in Israel l when I was 21 then he moved to New York and I often wonder if he still lives there. I do apologise for taking so long to reply, I have been unwell for a few weeks and have not been reading my messages but I’m back now, hopefully I’ll be in full swing by Christmas. Thank you again, Glenys. x
I hope you are feeling better by now and back to your usual self. It's very nice how you reply to everyone, you put so much of yourself into your work. Yes, the lost loves that linger. It's nice to think that sometimes they might think of us again also. I wish you and all those you love a very happy Christmas and the best for the New Year. ❤️
Bravo Lindsey for assembling all these great composer’s words into poetry form! I can hear old blue eyes singing your poem. I recall you said that you sang and danced a lot with your parents growing up. The winter winds blew in big snowflakes yesterday in South Dakota. My husband and I did lots of prepping yesterday for our Thanksgiving dinner today while we listened to Christmas carols. I am glad to hear that you are feeling better. A hot toddy may be a good thing, in addition to the antibiotics!
Happy Thanksgiving, Sharon! It sounds like you are in a wonderful festive mood, always easier I think when there is snow around. My parents both loved Frank Sinatra, and I was thinking especially of my dad as I put this together as he was often to be found singing a Sinatra song and a lot of the tunes really reminded me of him. Thank you for you get well wishes, Sharon, I might have a hot toddy later! Have a lovely day, enjoy your dinner! x
Well if that's what you can do when you are not feeling creative it's very impressive! I hope you feel better soon Lindsey x
Thank you Gina, I don’t think I’ll be doing it again though! Thank you for the get well wishes. x
I did think it sounded like a lot of work! 😂

That's a fun idea, and well done on producing a poem from the Sinatra lines.
Thank you Juliet, it was just a bit of fun. x
