Raindrops on Roses, Whiskers on Kittens

Hey Berries :strawberry:

A new game this way comes…

[name_m]How[/name_m] it works: you come up with a name (or names) for each lyric of a song, poem, verse etc - based on what those words evoke for you. Let your imagination run wild, and share whatever comes to your mind!

To start us off, let’s share names that evoke these lines of [name_f]My[/name_f] Favourite Things from The Sound of [name_f]Music[/name_f] :white_heart:

Raindrops on roses:
Whiskers on kittens:
Bright copper kettles:
Warm woollen mittens:
Brown paper packages tied up with string:
Cream coloured ponies:
Crisp apple strudels:
Door bells and sleigh bells:
Schnitzel with noodles:
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings:
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes:
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes:
Silver white winters that melt into spring:

[name_f]Answer[/name_f] as many or as few as you like. And feel free to share any lyrics, poems or verses that inspire you so we can keep the game rolling!

(Inspired by this thread by @EJpuddlejumper, thank you @drfox for the encouragement :white_heart:)

Here is one for all you nature name lovers: [name_f]Spring[/name_f] by [name_m]David[/name_m] Feng

Beautiful fresh purple flowers on a hill:
Slowly moving water mill:
Clumps of wet frost on the ground:
Life is all around:
Soft grasses pop out:
Flowers sprout:
Chirping birds in the wood:
Weather is good:
Melting mountain has begun:
Frosty snow quickly runs:
[name_u]Bright[/name_u] shiny sky is clear:
Sweet fresh crispy smell fills the air:

[name_m]How[/name_m] about this beautiful prose from [name_m]Haruki[/name_m] Murakami :white_heart:

[name_m]Even[/name_m] so, there were times I saw freshness and beauty:
I could smell the air:
and I really loved rock ‘n’ roll:
Tears were warm:
and girls were beautiful, like dreams:
I liked movie theatres, the darkness and intimacy:
and I liked the deep, sad summer nights:

[name_m]How[/name_m] about Devil Town by Cavetown

Devil town is colder in the summertime
I’ll lose my mind at least another thousand times
Hold my hand tight, we’ll make it another night
I still get a little scared of something new
But I feel a little safer when I’m with you
Falling doesn’t feel so bad when I know you’ve fallen this way too
