Thursday’s poetry corner.

My Brother took a poetry class in High school and the text they used was the best anthology of poetry I have ever come across. It was called, “Beowulf to Beatles.” I spent years looking for it and finally found it at Amazon .com. It was not the first edition but a second edition and did have all the same poems but still a good read. One of the poems I remember was “You Dun Stomped on My Heart by John Denver. It is a very y funny song about love gone wrong but I always remember the line,”sweet heart you sorta stepped on my aorta and smashed that sucker flat. So for your reading enjoyment I give you, “You Dun Stopped on My Heart.”

I told you that I loved you, you said that is so good.
I called you my darling, I thought I always would.
But now you've gone and left me, I don't know what to do.
So my little darling, I write these words to you.

You dun stomped on my heart and you mashed that sucker flat.
You just sorta stomped on my aorta.
You started going out with guys. I felt us drift apart.
And every step you took was a stomp on my heart.

I only hope that someday, you get them low down blues.
In some smoky honky-tonk you'll look down at your shoes.
You'll think about that tender heart that you crushed beneath them soles.
With your cold busting stompers, you left my heart so full of holes.

You dun stomped on my heart and you mashed that sucker flat.
You just sorta stomped on my aorta.
You started going out with guys. I felt us drift apart.
And every step you took was a stomp on my heart.
And every step you took was a stomp on my heart.
