Default Stevie's Game of Thrones poetry..

well, the writer *imagines* Stevie's poems about GoT..... YOU have to imagine the music

http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-ra...s-stevie-nicks

When Fleetwood Mac met Game of Thrones
Stevie Nicks says she has written poems dedicated to characters from Game of Thrones. Here's what we think she might have come up with for Daenerys, Jon Snow and Cersei …

Daenerys … she's got dragons on her shoulders.
And they say poetry is over. Adorably eccentric singer Stevie Nicks says she has written "a bunch of poetry about Game of Thrones – one for each of the characters". I know what you're thinking. Isn't it time Carol Ann Duffy jogged on and let the Fleetwood Mac siren become poet laureate? Nicks hasn't yet published her verses, but given the emotional angst, philosophical profundity and lunar weird she customarily packs into a couplet, how could Nicks's George RR Martin-inspired poems not be superb? Let's let's imagine what they'll be like ...


Daenerys

Rock on – Daenerys Targaryen
You've got baby dragons
On your shoulder

And a liberal stance on
Nude scenes
Should the script
Demand it. Whoo ... whoo... whoo ...

You're just like the white-winged dove
Flying to your nest-throne, love
Through fire, ice and, you know, dolour
Though I wonder if that's your natural hair colour

Rock on – Daenerys Targaryen
You've got baby dragons
On your shoulder

And, girl, you know you know how to work
That off-the-shoulder number
I actually pioneered, yeah?
Like 50 years ago or something? Whoo... whoo... whoo ...

Girl, you weren't born
To make things easy
Especially for Iain Glen
Who plays your bondsman
Ser Jorah Mormont.

What a jerk-off name
Men. Don't get me started
Have I ever told you about Lindsey Buckingham?
Sheez


Don't even go there
Whoo... whoo... whoo ...




Jon Snow … so cold and yet so hot.


Jon Snow
I'm climbing the icy wall
Bound to fall
Especially coz that clown with the googly eyes from The Office
Yeah, that's him. Mackenzie Crook
Not what you'd call a look
Er. Is cutting my rope

And the girl who stole my heart?
The one with a sour face like
Mick Fleetwood and Sam Fox's love child?
You know who I'm talking about. She's not all that.

She's conflicted
Which isn't what you want to hear
When you're dangling from a sheer
Ice cliff

I need you to love me
I need you today
I don't want any more girl-on-boy fisticuffs
Because I'm sensitive and fey

It's easy to confuse
Me with news
Presenter
Jon Snow. Some have made that mistake
But I'm, like, 700 years younger
And built. I'm just saying



Cersei … those are hair extensions, right?

Cersei
Cersei rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn't you love to love her?
Cersei rings like a bell through the night
Especially if you're her brother

All your life you've always had a
Non-judgmental approach to sibling rumpy
And a snooty eyebrow thing
That makes your dwarf brother jumpy

Plus more wicked witchery than Christine McVie
Which is saying something, whoah!
And an evil son who makes you fret over
Nature versus nurture

Was incest in the middle ages forbidden?
What do I look like, a historian?

All your life you've never seen
A boy pushed from a high window
By a bro and sis
Who didn't want the secret to get out
Well, not until recently

You've got hotsy totsy lips
Majestic froideur
A smile as big as, erm, Big Sur
But those have got to be hair extensions, right?

Taken by the wind
Taken by the wind
Hair extensions
Unwise
Unwise
In these
Troubled times

Actually with all the dysfunction in Fleetwood Mac labeled incestuous anyway, Cersei and Jaime oughtn't be toooooo hard.

(Do I need to mark for spoilers in this forum? LOL, serious if silly question actually.)

... no.

What about Behead the Ned

I really wanna see/hear a poem about Khaleesi and Jorah.
Stevie would totally have picked up on that unrequited love fest

It's the hilarious that the US media are gaga over this small bit from a UK interview. There are so many news alerts about it. The producers should have Stevie write a song with all the publicity they're getting.

I see it's featured on MSN homepage. I would love to hear this put to music and used on the show. I love Game of Thrones.

I'm kind of looking forward to it..Moonlight is a great song inspired by a terrible series..Game of Thrones is actually good and much more adult oriented so..

So the poems will be horrendously awful?

Kidding. It's like any "poem" of Stevie's. It'll go either way and we have to just wait and see. I just hope the tie to the series is virtually undetectable in the writing itself.

I was thinking about what Stevie is leaning towards doing in 2014 and I thought it'd be great if she got together with Dave again and hammered this poetry into songs. She gets songs written quickly with him, so I'm hoping she takes advantage of that again and we can have another album and tour out of it soon!

And if her management is reading this: NO MORE ROD STEWART!! If he calls just don't answer.

Jamie

Certainly, Stevie should have a lot of song fodder, from GoT, to Christine, to the rest of the 2013 tour.
