Here is an idea for a challenge that I think would be great!  I’ve never started a challenge before, but I thought of this last night, and I did it, and it was soooooo much fun!!!
As any of you who know me know, my favorite Singer is Darren Hayes.  He just released to the world, today, through his fan site, the first new music he has released in THREE YEARS!
In response to New Music Monday, as we fans are calling it, I decided to do the New Music Monday Challenge!  Think of your favorite singer or band.  Think of their favorite songs.  Now, use as many of their hit titles as you can in a poem of your own devising.  Mine is listed below, and I listed the song titles and albums they came from after.  See how well you know your favorite band!  What do you think?  Want to give it a try?

Here goes:

Darren

You know we would be “Lost Without You”
If you locked your songs away;
From the “Dublin Sky” to the southern pole
In silent “Darkness” we would stay.

You know we “Can’t Ever Get Enough Of You”
“Pop!ular” to us you will always be;
You fill a “Void” within our souls,
As we relive the times of “Crush (1980 Me)”.

This is no “Strange Relationship”,
You will never be “Unlovable” to our hearts;
We miss you “Truly, Madly, Deeply”,
And with “Affirmation” we will play our parts.

So make us cry these “Tears of Pearls”
With your heavenly voice so true;
Your talents, your gifts are “So Beautiful”
That every fan says “I Miss You”.

"Who Would Have Thought" you'd have touched so many lives
With your beautiful harmony;
But your magic helps us "Step Into The Light"
And sets our spirits free.

~From A Fan~

I've seen Fire and Rain,
going to Carolina in my Mind,
You Can Close your Eyes
and leave that Counrty Road behind.

Still, You've Got A Friend,
even in that Rainy Day Man,
That's Why I'm Here,
the Only One that can.

This is still Our Town,
and it's Her Town Too,
Something In The Way She Moves,
Another Grey Morning, coming through.

Yet It's Only A Dream In Rio,
where The Secret O' Life is found,
Going Around One More Time,
Slap Leather, One More Go Round.

The Water Is Wide,
Like Everyone She Knows,
out on Copperline,
Everyday comes to a close.

Damn if I don't love JT,
I could go on and on,
but that's Long Ago and Far Away,
Believe It Or Not, That Lonesome Road is gone.

Good job with this one. It's not easy to put together a collection of titles and come up with something that makes sense.

I have an old one, but it doesn't quite fit so I won't post it.

Cheers
