If the so-called greats
can write about faces in a crowd;
petals on a bough.
If red wheelbarrows are so important
that students must study them:
Is it not more important
that Paul Carrack wrote, 'Eyes Of Blue'
just for you?

My eyes are blue, but I don't think old Paul Carrack penned it for me . . .

Great songs with great lyrics talk to the listener, Jerry.

I agree, I just listened to it.

The man is a genius. Listen to, 'The Living Years.' A bucket could not hold my tears.

Well to be fair, you never know when you may need to use that all-important wheelbarrow knowledge. Or maybe not. I can list plenty of songs that I like to think are about me, and since I've never heard of Paul Carrack or Eyes of Blue before i looked it up...and thought it was gorgeous. Thanks for leading me to it, liked your poem too!
