There's No Room In My Heart -Pantoum

There's No Room In My heart Well the blues come around now and then so they say There's no room in my heart for the blues to begin There's a tear in my beer, it got there just today There'll be no teardrops tonight, there's none left to spend There's no room in my heart for the blues to begin Why don't you love me like you promised way back there There'll be no teardrops tonight there's none left to spend I can't get you off of my mind, but who's to care Why don't you love me like you promised way back there I've been down that road before, pretty little friend I can't get you off of mind, but who's to care I've been a fool, and will be a fool to the end I've been down that road before, pretty little friend I watched my dream world crumble like clay that won't mold I've been a fool, and will be a fool to the end My main trial is yet to come, one you can't behold I watched my dream world crumble like clay that won't mold Someday you'll call my name and I will not be there My main trial is yet to come, one you can't behold No one will ever know the dreams we used to share Someday you'll call my name and I will not be there There's a tear in my beer it got there just today No one will ever know the dreams we used to share Well the blues come around now and then so they say. May 15, 2016 For contest Musical Pantoum, for The Silent One All Song Titles By Hank Williams ( 1923 - 1953) The Blues Come Around There's No Room In My Heart For The Blues There's a Tear In My Beer There'll Be No Teardrops Tonight Why Don't You Love Me I Can't Get You Off Of My Mind I've Been A Fool I've Been Down That Road Before My Main Trial Is Yet To Come I Watched My Dream World Crumble Like Clay Someday You'll Call My Name No One Will Ever Know

Hi, Larry, I love how you wrote your poem for this challenging contest. Very well-written Pantoum using all those songs by Hank Williams (love his music too!). I am sure to see this high on the winner's list! Best wishes! 7+Fav, Sandra
