Poetry in Motion

I like poetry but I write crap poems so I'm showcasing someone else's poem. I didn't ask permission so let's say anonymous wrote it. Well, here it is.

The winter froze his love for me
The pelting rain that turned to sleet
Sealed his heart - a casket closed
The snow falls down & cruel winds blow

Y’know a real canuck
Well they would shoot the puck (give a fuck?)
Instead of taking flight
When they turn on the streetlights

The winter froze his love for me
I feel the cold on every seat
Beside the fire, I don’t know
A dusky ember from an inferno

The winter froze his love for me
I can’t help that my heart still beats
But his heart turned to tungsten steel
And I can’t help the way he feels

If I Could Talk With the Animals...

Everybody knows The Beatles and The Rolling Stones but what are the other bands of the "British Invasion" of the 1960s? One of my favourites is The Animals. They didn't have as long or as prolific a career as the Beatles or the Stones, which is likely why they are less well known. There were also fights amongst the band members, mostly over lead singer Eric Burdon's desire to go solo. I'm a fan though, mostly of House of the Rising Sun, We Gotta Get Out of This Place & Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood. I will now share the Animals. Please take a listen.
