Poetry Mash-up

That's right, when I can't come up with anything original I steal from others. The following is a "mash-up" sorta like they do on the TV show Glee except using two poems that have something in common. (I will try not to badly skewer two classic poems.) Today the theme is l-o-v-e and I've chosen "If You Forget Me" by Pablo Neruda and "Wondrous Moment" by Alexander Pushkin. Flexing my writing muscles and typing fingers. Here goes nothing...

I want you to know
one thing.

if I look at the crystal moon

that passes through my life
The fire, and tears, and love alive

everything carries me to you

In ecstasy the heart is beating

The wondrous moment of our meeting . . .

everything carries me to you

Oh well, I did the best I could and it was fun. Just so you get something out of this and so it hasn't been a complete waste of your time, you should Google the original poems, they're quite good.

And now you know how I spend my Saturday nights. But hey, if it makes you feel a little better about your own life then I'm glad I could help :)
