  • The Receptionist.

    I would be a receptionist, not because I particularly want to be, but because I’d be doing some stupid Ai bot out of a job. I had in mind when writing the following a little known and very short song by Bob Dylan, called “Jet Pilot” in which he describes a purportedly beautiful young woman… Read more

  • I Only Lie When I Open My Mouth.

    This post was supposed to have been posted a few days ago, I forgot as I was going on holiday for a few days. I guess it still works for today’s prompt though, eg never take advise from listen a politician The Ai thing that creates these prompts, repeats itself over and over. We have… Read more

  • Mr Tangerine Man.

    I mention sacrilege in my verse today, I’m worried I may be being a little sacrilegious myself in adapting one of the greatest lyrics of all time to my own ends. Im talking of course of Bob Dylan’s Mr Tambourine Man, unfortunately best know for the Byrds truncated version. As for my subject, how can… Read more

  • Series of Dreams

    A verse from Bob Dylan’s “Series of Dreams” an out take from his Infidels album, available on “Biograph” a collection of out takes. “In one, the surface was frozen In another, I witnessed a crime In one, I was running, and in another all I seemed to be doing was climb. Wasn’t looking for any… Read more

  • Boo Boopy Do.

    No doubt, some will consider, Einstein, Charlotte Brontë, Maybe even Donald Trump. There’s no accounting for taste I guess. Personally I would love to dine with Bob Dylan, I don’t think he’d want me though! Here we go with a bit more nonesense the. BOO BOOPY DO. Popeye would be good, we could both fine… Read more

  • Everything Is a Little Upside Down..

    “Every thing is a little upside down, as a matter of fact the wheels have stopped, you’ll find out when you’ve reached the top you’re on the bottom”. A line from Bob Dylan’s “Idiot Wind” on his “Blood on the Tracks” album. In answer to the prompt, I would live almost anywhere where there are… Read more

  • When Gravity Fails, and negatively Don’t Pull You Through

    The title a line from Bob Dylan’s song “Just like Tom Thumbs blues” From his album “Highway 61 Revisited” Dylan at his most enigmatic, the line seems to be nonsense, and yet conveys a feeling of desperation and abandonment. Poetry at a level, I can only ever dream of attaining. So here’s a bit of… Read more

  • The View From Above

    I’m inspired by two people, Greta Thunberg for her love and devotion to our home, our planet, and Bob Dylan for giving me my love of words and their power. I have written about both, for prompts before, so I’m not going to repeat, you can find all in the archives of my blog anyway.… Read more

  • Mood Swings and Roundabouts

    This is a complicated subject, I will try and keep the intro short as posible. “Black, black, Bible black” a quote “ish” from Dylan Thomas’s “Under Milk Wood” Then from my favourite Dylan (Bob) the words “Most of the time” where he sings of a lost love and doesn’t think about her “Most of the… Read more

  • Here’s a Little Song I Wrote.

    The song “Don’t Worry Be Happy” by Bobby McFerrin always makes me smile, it carries a philosophy that only the lucky few can implement. What gave me the idea for todays poem though was a verse from another Bob Dylan song “Dirge” From his album “Planet Waves” SING A SONG OF FREEDOM. Sing your song… Read more
