Music Senryu

A Poem by Frieda P
"

Senryu challenge by New Yawk Steve

"
Satisfaction~The Rolling Stones
No girly action
even the devil knew my game
satisfaction sucks
Landslide~Fleetwood Mac
Saw my reflection
life changes of my  seasons
afraid of falling
Like A Rolling Stone~Bob Dylan
I used to be fine
now I have to compromise
on my own, unknown
Summertime~Janis Joplin
Living is breezy
no tears for the weary rich
No one can harm you
Jack & Diane~John Mellencamp
Two kids rocking on
beat goes on after it fizzles 
changes to real life
Born in the USA~Bruce Springsteen
Born American
made me kill my fellow man
Dark red, white & blue 
Nights In White Satin~Moody Blue

Hear black emptiness
Letters written, never sent
yet, still I love you

Kinks~You Really Got Me

I can't sleep at night
no clue what I am doing
you really got me

Sweet Child O'Mine~Guns & Roses

Her hair safe and warm
recalling sweet childhood
where do we go now?

A Thousand Kisses Deep~Leonard Cohen!

Streak runs a while
Seems real, yet boogie defeat
Kisses my soul deep

Aye! This is superb! I really like Senryu...a complete drama in 3 lines or more or less 17 syllables. And you made here many of them based on those beautiful songs.
The brilliant Frieda rocked my world!

Love it!!!! This is perfect; all my "classic" favs portrayed. I love 'Sweet Child' and 'Born in the USA'. Very interesting concept indeed.

BRAVA! I knew you could do it.

Hard to pick between Jack & Diane and Landslide.

This has been fun.
