Sonnet --- 2025 January 05

Karen Carpenter, Relived

Granted, Karen was on Top of the World,
her passionate voice brought her Close to You,
We've Only Just Begun, her gems hid pearled,
her Rainy Days and Mondays changed our view.

Bless the Beasts and Children, expressed warm peace,
The Night Has a Thousand Eyes, sleep awhile,
to being Solitaire, Walk On By, please,
Make It Easy on Yourself. Rest a spell.

Called the yard to buy a Ticket To Ride,
Beechwood 4-5789,
from San Francisco to LA, Cal's south side,
it was 1980, a younger time.

So long ago, it's Yesterday Once More,
Karen's Goodbye to Love was my top score.

David Crandall January 5, 2025 at 8:18 PM Nicely put together Hilo Poet. I remember first hearing her beautiful voice when I was a kid in the song Rainy Days and Mondays. Later, I found out she was from my hometown of Downey, which doesn't mean anything, but wow, that voice! William Kelii Kekaula January 5, 2025 at 10:25 PM I say to that, Right On, David. Incredible voice that I was fortunate to have heard. Mahalo~William
