Lullaby of Jazz Land: A Found Poem Comprised of Titles from the American Songbook
By Carole Boston Weatherford

It was written in the stars:
A child is born.
From that moment on,
I only had eyes for you.

What a diff’rence a day made.
Since I fell for you,
Zing! went the strings of my heart.

You’re so nice to come home to:
Make believe. Tea for two.
Magic moments.
I’m glad there is you.

Just a-sittin’ and a-rockin,
Swinging on a star,
I could write a book
Too marvelous for words.

I see your face before me.
How my heart sings!

Do I love you? ’Deed I do.
Fidgety feet, I get a kick out of you.

Let’s take a walk around the block
On the sunny side of the street.

Come rain or come shine,
My funny Valentine, please be kind.
The best is yet to come.

Jeepers, creepers,
Time after time, you go to my head.

Cheek to cheek, dancing in the dark.
Love is the sweetest thing.
What a wonderful world!

Countdown. Stardust. Close your eyes.
Hit the road to Dreamland.

You’re my everything.
What is there to say?
All I do is dream of you.
There is no greater love.
