Never liked the song ‘Solitaire’ by Neil Sedaka. Just heard his version, which I think is poor but you just don’t get, these days, songs being covered by major artists ( Andy Williams, The Carpenters) who have a hit with it in subsequent years (‘73 and ‘75)

It probably doesn't help that I got 2.5 hours of sleep, and have been awake since.
Murdoch has gobs of cash he takes daily baths in and STILL hires discount/dollar store reporters
and yes that's a noted (and amateurish) misuse of #Maudlin

Maudlin with moonlight,
the poet spills extra ink
on one fading star.

last day of summer
echoes of a maudlin song
will not keep her warm
#DailyHaikuPrompt #maudlin #haiku
morphing leaves inspire
mulling morn
whilst tech revamps
induce maudlin moan

The last light of day
Lost in maudlin sentiment
Slips into darkness
SENRYU 0393
tea cups— disarray
maudlin maiden— emptiness—
steaming kettle boils

Light escapes the room
Through cold windows - the sky’s gray
Face streaked in red tears.

Maudlin midnight blue—
the stars cry chandelier tears,
a galaxy weeps.

Maudlin? Sure, sometimes.
We’re all allowed some pity.
Mine comes with coffee.

and those were the days
South: NEW LEAVES
they begin again
#newleaves on the sapling trees
what will the year hold?

the last bottle dregs for tears

always dramatic
but she reeks maudlin when she’s
tossed back a few drams
Is it silly to weep
at weepy films? Maybe, but
your tears tell the truth.

tear-flooded vision
precedes maudlin departure
seven states away

a bit maudlin,
back in my hometown to
spit on your grave

waiting for new leaves
bare trees stand with dignity -
shed no maudlin tears
#DailyHaikuPrompt #Maudlin
Nursing a whiskey
Watching the dying embers
Here’s to absent friends
maudlin branches hear
brittle ghosts of once new leaves
rattle dry as bones

Best keep it simple
This #cerulean Sunday,
Pushing dread aside
Of grey days fast approaching.
Don’t lament for peace
In some grand #maudlin display,
But live each hour
Without future encroaching.

Dammit @disney! Tearing up at "Deadpool & Wolverine" is just #maudlin. Almost unforgivable.
