I wrote this love ode to some poet friends and it won me poet of the year in San Francisco. If you can get through it all Bravo! And don't tell me this isn't a poem you don't win poetry awards for writing prose. I am using a French poetic form created by Oulipo school called cento which means you take lines already written by others and combine them into a work of your own and it is slam poetry as well, I won for slamming it.

Now for the points answer me these questions three.

1st question is what is my theme, aside from love.

2nd Whoever names the most song titles with artist name wins and a bonus applause if you can tell me how my poem was organized. If you get them all I may consider sending you actual prize money. (Hint make at least two pop culture references per stanza.)

It is far too long for this site (though not as long as Song of Myself. I tried people I tried) so follow the link above and thanks for reading!

1.Funny. I wanted to ask you too. What is it? I don't see love but infatuation
2. OK, This is what I got and had misgivings whether it's true love:

If love is a battlefield I'll drive until I'm borderline. If this it then let's go crazy get loose, footloose. Hold me now all night long, all night because without you I'm an owner of lonely heart dancing in the dark. I need you to jump, jump for my love. So my uptown girl let's hear it for the boy, this boy, and time after time I'll work my magic for you my lucky star. This is not infatuation, this is not almost paradise. We are islands in the stream. That is what we are. And while sad songs say so much let the music play because boys and girls just want to have fun. And what happens when doves cry? What happens when the glamorous life, the pink houses I envision pop like 99 luftballons? Why... my self control fades. I lose the reflex. Oh you can say I can dream about you if I can't hold tonight

Good luck
