The Angel

When Sam met Maria
Sparks flew from the heart.
To heart
It was love at first sight.

He first encountered.
His angel of love
As he called her
In a dream

For eight long years
This angel haunted his dream.
And his life

Then one day
She walks off a bus.
And became his love angel.
In real life

He soon was serenading her.
Singing the song
“The angel” from the boss
To her every night

He called her.
His angel of love

For he was convinced
The Love Gods
Had sent her.
an angel From heaven
To be with him.



Looks like I get to kick off The Writer's Cramp's celebration of Writing.com Birthday Week!

NEW PROMPT: Bruce Springsteen, one of the most prolific singer-songwriters of our time, was born on September 23, 1949 (yes, in the USA). When Springsteen was 23 years old, he released his first album: Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. While not a huge success in its time, many of the tracks on it were covered by other performers (notably Manfred Mann), and after the world-sounding success of some of his later albums, this first effort of his received greater public attention.

Your mission for your story or poem is to use one of the titles of the songs on Greetings (listed below) as the title of your story or poem; that is, at a minimum, we'll want to see the title in the Title section of your Static Item. It should be an exact match (e.g., "Growin' Up," not "Growing Up.") The story or poem should then somehow relate to the title. As you might expect, the required genre is Music.

Choose from the following titles:

Blinded by the Light
Growin’ Up
Mary Queen of Arkansas
Does This Bus Stop at 82nd Street?
Lost in the Flood
The Angel
For You
Spirit in the Night
It’s Hard to Be a Saint in the City
