Public Poem
First time in public reading a poem
scared witless
i sought out advice
look at the front
look at the back
pick out one person in the room
ignore everyone
don`t talk too fast
don`t talk too slow
too loud or too low
im looking at my shoes
knees knocking
totally bloody confused
for better or worse
here i am being myself
Sorry Brian I had to edit one word to witless. This is a family show! Lol.
Hey Phill
i bought digestives in my shopping today,thanks for reminding me about them.
In NZ the govt wanted to bring in a ``fart tax`` because of farm animals causing methane .
Well that didn`t do too well.but im sure they will try again.
In a world that people seem to want more natural,the same people are buying lab made food.
can`t they see the contradiction??
great conversation
have you heard Macdonalds are not using cardboard anymore
they are using meat!!
I cut the pointy end off chocolate digestives and then plug it in the seat belt.
Just banged this one out,plenty of mistakes to keep it interesting.

My goodness Pete you captured that all so well,brilliantly written.
you left out the part about trepidation and knocking knees.
a big pat on the back to those of you who perform live,i don`t know how you do it.

sitting here waiting Phill (no pressure)
love it love it,great conversation
Rhyme
i`ve been having a conversation
about my observation
about rhyme
should it happen all the time
you say yes i say no
one of these days
i`ll change my ways
but on reflection
and at your direction
perhaps i`ll write more rhymes
or maybe i won`t
Nothing that a pair of orange socks couldn`t fix
and maybe tight leather jeans
Zurf
looking forward to your songs.
Sir Phill
i dont know you very well,but the little i know is that you are far from boring.
Just need to read your lyrics to see that.
get a grip man,go out and buy a purple shirt!!
Isn`t it great we all see the world a little differently,and can agree to disagree.This is becoming a rare thing in the world
in recent times.I respect your opinion,especially as ive heard many of your songs and think they are very very professional.
I think if someone is trying to write a song that will be popular,they may have a different take on it to someone who is
trying to say something.I`m a big fan of your songs,so yeah you have written memorable songs.
many thanks for engaging in this conversation with me.
Rhymes are over rated in my opinion.
I hate reading a lyric where you can tell the writer has
gone for a rhyme at the expense of the story, or it`s not a natural fit.
Sure it`s easier to write in rhymes,i guess thats why many fall back on it.
Myself included sometimes.
This song was written by Peatle to encourage me.
I was asked to read some poems i had got published in an anthology.
It was part of promoting the book.
The thought of being in front of people and talking scares the hell out of me.
The only line he didnt use in the song was when he said to me
``if you dont do this thing you will live to regret missing the opertunity``
great stuff both of you,really enjoyed the vid.
keep them coming,seems very little interest from anyone else on chordie
but dont let that get to you,it is a reflection of others not of you.
it if counts for anything im very interested in listening to new music.
more please!
The Law Man
from the stage to the grave
as the wheels go round
clock strikes six
at the end of town
lawman walking with
arms at his side
hat pushed forward
from the sun he hide
sun now setting in the west
reflects from the star on his chest
throwing light
in the gun mans eyes
take every advantage
that a lawman can
risk his life for this town
something only a lawman understands
one shot rings out
one man goes down!
I`m with you on this Phill.Peatle has a way of making the everyday stuff interesting and entertaining.
Just look out the window you`re looking at a song.

Here Here!
natural and real do it for me every time.
I can relate to that one,well written
Phill Williams wrote:Oh yea! Friends with benefits eh? An other relationship piece? I love the way you and Peatle can take everyday events and make them into enjoyable stories.
Well done Brian.
Yeah Phill,i don`t really like writing love type songs unless i can add a different perspective.
this was a conversation i had with the owner of a music shop,he said his girlfriend had got
a job elsewhere. they had played sport/ worked /played in a band/ lived together.
Love and Space
I always thought my happiness
depended on you
but i was wrong
cause since you`ve gone
the suns still shining through
we`re still friends and lovers
but we both got
our own space and time
never thought i could
be this happy
when i`m not with you all the time
so come on over lets talk
about our different days
lets raise a glass of wine
and laugh about our different ways.
we`re still friends and lovers
with our own space and time
that is a sensational piece of writing 10/10
