Hello beautiful people🌹
This is hive open mic, week 206 and I'm here with my entry, in relation to the theme, poetry, as chosen by our spotlight artist, @cesaramos. I have chosen to make a cover of My Favourite Things, as featured in the movie, 'The Sound of Music'.

Whenever the word, 'poetry' is mentioned, what usually comes to my mind is, strings of compiled words with rhyme schemes. This rhyme schemes usually appears at the end of each poem lines. The poet can choose to use any rhyme pattern of his or her choice (aabbcc...., abbacddc...., ababcdcd.... etc). Also, they have the freedom to use words the way they like.

Some poems are not usually easily understood until interpreted. Poems, also do have both shallow and deep meaning (can't recall the proper names for them). There are poetries which, when reading them, you get to think that the poet is referring to something simple, not knowing that there is a deeper meaning to it.

There is a poem written by one, Joe Ushie, titled, 'Yawns and Belches'. Reading it, one might think that the poem is all about yawning and belching (which is the shallow meaning) but looking deep, you'll get to realize that, the 'yawns' refer to the hungry masses. The 'belches' refer to the rich and the government, who have eaten to the fullest.

Now, back to the song I've chosen, I might not really have a deep interpretation for it but all I know is that, the song is all about the stuffs that make you happy when you are feeling sad or when the going is tough. Simply put, there are stuffs you love doing and they become your favourite in that, no matter how bad or unhappy you might be, a mere thinking or remembering them, the pain goes away.
I just hope we all have that one thing or person too, that whenever we think of them, our pain goes away.

    **LYRICS**

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream-colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites, when the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad

Thank you for coming around ❤️🤍
