I have no regrets, I did it my way! I know I have a few under my skin. That's life with passion I always say. Come fly with me; lets go for a spin. I know I have a few under my skin. Maybe she can fly with me to the moon. Come fly with me; lets go for a spin. I'm not afraid; we will be leaving soon. Maybe she can fly with me to the moon. We can dance like strangers in the night. I'm not afraid; we will be leaving soon. We're young at heart, our future is bright. We can dance like strangers in the night. You and the night and the music delight. We're young at heart, our future is bright. My heart has high hopes; this feels so right. You and the night and the music delight. I'm a fool to want you, but it's too late. My heart has high hopes; this feels so right. Almost like being in love - might be fate. I'm a fool to want you, but it's too late. Something about the way you looked that night. Almost like being in love - might be fate, but, said something stupid - gave her a fright. Something about the way you looked that night. Luck be a lady, stars were adorning, but, said something stupid - gave her a fright. She left in the wee small hours of the morning. Luck be a lady, stars were adorning, It was a very good year; not all in vain. She left in the wee small hours of the morning. Maybe she thinks I'll never smile again. It was a very good year; not all in vain. That's life with passion I always say. Maybe she thinks I'll never smile again. I have no regrets, I did it my way! 30 April 2016 The Silent One.
A pantoum using song titles from a musician. Below are the titles I used by Frank Sinatra. 10 syllables per line. My way Ive got you under my skin That's life Come fly with me Fly me to the moon Strangers in the night I'm not afraid Young at heart You and the night and the music High hopes I'm a fool to want you Almost like being in love The way you looked that night Something stupid In the wee small hours of the morning Luck be a lady I'll never smile again It was a very good year

Glad to read this tribute to Frank Sinatra. The best part is that your words float and whisper a melody that resembles his music so closely. Another lullaby for me! :)

All I could say is "You did it your way" And you did it very well....Being from New Jersey where Frank Sinatra came from (Hoboken) I appreciate this much! Nicely written Silent One...All the best....Charlie

You chose a great crooner from the past and the song titles are perfect for this kind of writing. I am saving your musical challenge for weekend work. Those kinds of pantoums really wear me out. hahaha. To write them of course, not to read them!! GREAT model.

Silent One, you made a complicated form look easy and the songs you chose are ones I've heard. Frank Sinatra was quite a star back in the day and my parents had all of his records. Excellent writing!
