I've only written twice poetry in Steemit. I've never seen anything like this, writing depending on what the song inspires you (To my dear friend who loves to poke chickens).

This is my entry for Poetry Bounty - Jökull by bananafish@bananafish

The song inspires many things, but I will give a title to my poem to limit it and shape it.

Orion

Oh, my constellation, my anchor.
No matter where I am
Your twinkling diamonds calm my loneliness
Sweet Crystals That Taste like Home

I see you from where you dwell
You are the constant and the perpetual
Seven stars that have kept me company
How many times have you seen me
How many lives have I had

You were before me.
And you'll be there after I'm gone.
And you'll be here by the time I get back.

Who else do you comfort?
Who else do you give home flavor to?
I'm sure you know where my other half is.
What's taking so long?

I wonder if from where you're standing
There's another soul wondering the same thing
Looking down from there
To this infinitesimal little blue ball
