Prompt: shuffle MP3, use first five titles as the base for a poem
I shuffled my Android (not as eclectic as my ITunes playlist, but…) and this is the silly result in poetic form:
Midnight dance
…watch the pairs moving slowly on the dance floor
this is not America, the puritan
where lovers were punsihed by scarlet
labels. I touch your hand: my tender
China girl, we both love the midnight radio
You take off your red shoes and say
let's waltz, let's dance la javanaise ...
and you are the most beautiful girl in the room
Titles: This is not America, China Girl, Midnight Radio, Let's Dance and You are the most beautiful girl in the room. The last title came with the phone and the shuffling on the Android seems to pick related titles, otherwise I cannot explain why 3 David Bowie out of five. More shuffles for the napowrimo challenge on the read, write poem website

A very satisfying read. Thanks
you are welcome
I really enjoy your use of the Bowie lyrics. Great poem!
I absolutely love this. I think it is because the song lyrics, though random, somehow just...come together. It is really beautiful!
Hi, Ana. I enjoyed reading. It's wild how David Bowie kept coming up, but I think it works well. You also gave me a good idea. I was trying to think of some poetry games for teenagers. I love Read Write Poem, because they always have great exercises. Thank you!
@Jessica

@kagerr
thanks.
@Julie
I imagine it is the way the shuffle function was programmed -it is not the first time, and not only Bowie.
