Sunday Muse #139


Hello and welcome, Musers! Fireblossom here with your weekly picture prompt. This time we have a photograph of the late singer/songwriter Laura Nyro. She wrote fabulous, original lyrics like this one, from "Stony End":


"Never mind the forecast 

cos the sky has lost control

and the fury of the rolling thunder's 

come to match my raging soul"




Or this, from "Sweet Blindness":

"Down by the grapevine, drink my daddy's wine

Good mornin'!

Don't let daddy hear it,

he don't believe in the gin mill spirits

Come on, baby, do a slow float

You're a good lookin' river boat

and ain't that sweet-eyed blindness good to me"




Let the picture speak to you and come back and link what you wrote so we can stop by and read.
