Bob Dylan's Dream

a sort of sonnet (made out of song titles)

I’m having another go at Writer Pilgrim’s Song Title Poetry Challenge. Go check it out and give it a go!

Today, the task is to choose an artist or band starting with the letter D and construct a poem purely out of song titles — and how could I not take up the Dylan mantle?

Bob Dylan’s Dream

It takes a lot to laugh, it takes a train to cry
when the night comes falling from the sky.
When the deal goes down,
when I paint my masterpiece,
when he returns,
when the ship comes in
lay down your weary tune.

Standing in the doorway,
watching the river flow,
visions of Johanna
blowin' in the wind
on a night like this,
tangled up in blue,
I’ve made up my mind to give myself to you.
