When I was quite a bit younger (!!) a friend used to play a lot of Simple
Minds music. I never got totally into the music (& the lyrics as heard were
mostly unintelligible, except for 'promised you a miracle' sung about 100
times over & over), but one day I picked up an LP cover and started
reading. I don't know if I'd still think it's poetry, but it felt like it
then. Certainly it was of a different order to most everything else around
at the time. I began thinking differently about what poetry is, in any
case. & writing some (badly, it's true!), after a long silence. Well, now
I've made myself curious. I'm off to try to dig up some of those lyrics . . . .
Louise.
