Bravo!
Congratulations, Samantha Watts!
Her poem, "Broken Umbrella," was selected for this year's annual high
school poetry anthology. The event was packed and was sponsored by
Poetry Santa Cruz. Awards were presented by Michael Watkins, the
superintendent of Santa Cruz country education. David Swanger, our
local poet laureate, was also on hand to read. Thanks to Len Anderson
and all those who labor to support this annual celebration of young,
local writers.
Bravo!

Vance Joy: Mess is Mine
Lyrics to Mess Is Mine
Talking like we use to do
It was always me and you
Shaping up and shipping out
Check me in and check me out
Do you like walking in the rain
When you think of love do you think of pain
You can tell me what you see
I will choose what I believe
Hold on darling
This body is yours this body is yours and mine
Well hold on my darling
This mess was yours
Now your mess is mine
Ooooooohhhh
Your mess is mine
See you in the market place
Walking around at 8am
Got two hours before my flight
Love you on my side tonight
You're the reason that I feel so strong
The reason that I'm hanging on
You know you gave me all the time
Did I give you enough of mine
Hold on darling this body is your this body is yours and mine
Well hold on my darling
This mess is yours now your mess is mine
Your mess is mine
Bring me to your house
Tell me you're sorry for the mess and I don't mind
You're talking in your sleep out of time
Well you still make sense to me
Your mess is mine
Ooooooh
Your mess is mine
This body is yours and this body's mine
Your mess is mine
Talking like we use to do
It was always me and you
Shaping up and shipping out
Check me in and check me out
Do you like walking in the rain
When you think of love do you think of pain
You can tell me what you see
I will choose what I believe
Hold on darling
This body is yours this body is yours and mine
Well hold on my darling
This mess was yours
Now your mess is mine
Ooooooohhhh
Your mess is mine
See you in the market place
Walking around at 8am
Got two hours before my flight
Love you on my side tonight
You're the reason that I feel so strong
The reason that I'm hanging on
You know you gave me all the time
Did I give you enough of mine
Hold on darling this body is your this body is yours and mine
Well hold on my darling
This mess is yours now your mess is mine
Your mess is mine
Bring me to your house
Tell me you're sorry for the mess and I don't mind
You're talking in your sleep out of time
Well you still make sense to me
Your mess is mine
Ooooooh
Your mess is mine
This body is yours and this body's mine
Your mess is mine
