Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 02/24/03 at 09:32 PM Thoughtful and clever tribute to a favorite singer. Very effective meld of titles with personal feelings. |
Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 02/26/03 at 02:08 AM Great example of how one art form or medium inspires another David. |
Posted by Kate Demeree on 02/26/03 at 01:13 PM This is absolutley beautiful, and smoky..... sultry. A great way to start or end a day.. humm.. or even fill it up. |
Posted by Mara Meade on 02/26/03 at 01:52 PM I'm with Arthur in wanting to get the CD... I read the poem without knowing the album and found it beautiful... what a wonderful inspiration. |
Posted by Bruce W Niedt on 03/05/03 at 12:22 PM Bravo! Clever and heartfelt - you integrated the song titles seamlessly (if I didn't know them myself, I wouldn't know they were there). One of my favorite new artiats too - a fine tribute.... d:-) |

Posted by Anne Engelen on 04/05/03 at 02:57 PM congrats with POTD. I heard Norah Jones for the first time yesterday. I'm extremely curious for more now! |
Posted by Kalikala Smith on 04/05/03 at 03:00 PM This is so great. I was listening to her when I read this poem. :) |
Posted by Christina Bruno on 04/05/03 at 03:34 PM Nora Jones is so brilliant, I love her music :) |
Posted by JD Clay on 04/05/03 at 04:03 PM This flowing and meaningful verse is an award winner in itself Dave, Bravo.
Peace... |
Posted by Cathlyn Cartier on 04/05/03 at 10:20 PM I've never head Norah Jones, but now I'm tantalized and think I may just have to have a listen soon. Superbly written imho, excellent choice for POTD! Congrats!!! |
Posted by Rusty C Arquette on 04/06/03 at 05:05 AM How odd the world can be. I just posted a piece titled 'It's All Been Said' bemoaning the familiar concern of the writer; feeling either someone has written whatever it was you had in mind before or better (or both). Odd, because I see your poem posted as POTD (congrats!) today and thought I was seeing double! I posted a piece here on the site titled, 'Come Away With Me' named after the title of Norah's album and incorporated the song titles into the lines of my piece. I too did this as a tribute to Ms. Jones (I love this CD and play it daily to relax) and thought I was being extremly clever (chuckle). - I guess there was a definite cosmic force at work in directing me to write the second piece about it all having been written before! - Very nicely done..what can I say, you are a genius for using the format, of course I can't be very objective, can I? After all, it takes true genius to recognize genius, eh? (picture me laughing till my little smiling Buddha falls off my PC monitor!) - How odd the world can be! - Thanx for the chuckle, David - Nicely done - RCat |
Posted by Glenn Currier on 04/07/03 at 04:22 PM I had not heard her music until she gained fame at the Grammys, then discovered she is from the Dallas area - where I live. You make me want to go out and get her album. Aside from that, David, this is a splendid love poem and tribute to your love(s). Congrats on POTD too. Dave Rocks! |
