a tale of tails, tenacity, and tedium, as told by me, usually barefoot and bellowing

Sing Back

Old Bank Street, Manchester, UK by R.A.D. Stainforth

Sing back a frame 
That did exist
A fiery re-call becomes
A chance to repair
To craft a new deal
From time gone
Add your wishes
This moment
Like a boat's sail
Will billow full again


Attempting a triple prompt...

My favorite lines are....

'this moment
like a boat's sail
will billow full again.'

I can really picture this, Gail.

Best line for me: A fiery re-call becomes
A chance to repair...Always calls forth home.

How we wish we could sing a back a frame. Lucky are those who get this chance but usually the die is set. Well written Gail.

Very good Gail . . ,
I especially liked . . .

A fiery re-call becomes
A chance to repair
To craft a new deal

Well it sounds better when it is with the rest . . .
