Great to see you are writing.

Topic: Panama Papers (nothings changed) (5 replies, posted in Poems)
Panama Papers
The king sent his subjects to fight
To keep the status quo
A war they didn`t what to be part of
A war of which they didn`t want to know
Peasants of one country
Fighting peasants of another
The nobles & politicians lives carried on
With barely a blip
The peasants on the front line
known as cannon fodder
Their lives worth not a tick
Their reward.....at best
Crumbs from the table

I don`t know if you are aware of `Reverbnation.com`
If ya put songs on there, they offer many opportunities to submit for
performing live/record labels/radio stations.etc
this may suit your quality music.

Under The Bridge
When i walked under the bridge today
As i was heading home
When looking up underneath
I just happened to see
Two words in red paint
unmistakable graffitti
It saddened me to read those words
Painted probably
By a younger hand
I wondered who took the time
Must have known pain and dispair
`Abandon Hope` it read
The message was all too clear!

keep It real
hey not being able to sing & play hasn`t stopped me from going on soundcloud.
I`m useless @ tech stuff too,but soundcloud is pretty easy.
Give it a go.You won`t regret it.

Gidday Beamer
yeah i`m with you on this one.
I used to post a lot,but you get very little response
which hardly encourages me to post.No point in talking to myself,as
I want a conversation.
So while i visit daily & read u guys i comment less often.

That is fantastic.A true story makes great song/poems.
I find writing poems/songs a great way to cope with lifes problems
writing it down does seem to help.
Hope you writing this down has in some way helped you.
And yes thoughts are poems( as are opinions and feelings)

Topic: Maybe You can relate to this (8 replies, posted in Poems)
Gidday,
My friend has the great burden to be a parking warden,so i wrote this for him.
Of course these are only words,i could never be like this surely.
`The Dance`
Doing the dance
taking a chance
pushing my luck to the full
Avoid..... the parking warden
Move my car
not too far
down round the corner
But far enough
to fool.... the parking warden?
Doing a dance..... with the parking warden
Shall i put my money in the slot
or shall i not
continue the dance,....with the parking warden
Tell a lie, he`s heard them all
all the stories often tall
just another dance....with the parking warden

Gidday.
I just wrote this song,it`s kinda about musicians/sportspeople/artists.Anyone giving it a go.
some times they take a bit of flack or are not appreciated for their efforts.
Having said that, a lot of my music listening is you guys,so yeah perhaps i shouldn`t have
been silent for so long.so i for one are listening to you.so keep it coming.
Because `I Rate you`

Re: NGD-- Its been a while. (11 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Gidday all
I saw a story some where recently about Yamaha guitars.(utube?)
They have found a way to give new wood the sound you get only from aged wood.
There was a demo attached,they hit an ordinary piece of wood( dull thud)
then hit the aged piece(bright ring)
I guess with technology now anythings possible.

Hey Phill
Great that you gave a critique,like Peatle says i thought that is what Chordie was about.
It doesn`t happen much here but it should,if you were sitting jamming with someone
you would not hesitate to throw around ideas & opinions.
thanks,i know Peatle really struggled with this one.

C`mon Peatle
I know you can do something with this poem.
Maybe talk the words sing the chorus?
