Billie
I don't know how to thank Billie Holiday
I don't know how to thank Billie Holiday
But gratitude is where I begin
She opened everything
Gave all she had, against all odds
She lead the hard and lonely fight
And smashed it with gardenias
Lauren Laverne and Sam Baker asked me to write a poem for The Pool about Billie
Holiday for her centenary. Billie was born 100 years ago today. Whatever
you do today please take some time out to listen to her music, take a
moment to thank the great Billie Holiday.
Published today, read my piece in full here: https://www.the-pool.com
Thank you
