[Take a popular song off the radio and rewrite it as a poem in your own words.]
Who listens to the radio nowadays? But, whatever, I’ll check out the popular songs of today, November 17, 2019.
Mk, I found this song called
Looking For America
by Lana Del Rey. It’s surprisingly poetic, so I think I can work with this:
I’m on my way to Alaska
I hear the cold can hurt a lot
It’s not like I can’t last a
Long time without something hot
I’m going there to see the lovely mountains
And the bears, I hope to see thousands.
I’m still on the search for a permanent residence
One near all the sights I dearly wish to see
While also far from people, because I can’t stand strangers sometimes
The place I found was Alaska
The place I found was Alaska
The place I found was Alaska.
I arrived and went hiking
On the search for native wildlife
And soon regretted not going biking
‘Cause it was more than a mile climb
But I do not regret, at all, the adventure I had
Because if anything, staying home on my ass would have been bad.
I’m still on the search for a permanent residence
One near all the sights I dearly wish to see
While also far from people, because I can’t stand strangers sometimes
The place I found was Alaska
The place I found was Alaska
The place I found was Alaska.
