I will attach  a couple videos of John Wells who lives in the desert of Brewster County South West Texas. First one showing the snow something no one would have thought you would see down there, The second video is him reciting a poem of why he likes living away from the crowds.

Brian if you run out of ink.
I will turn to drink.
Oh man .
That wasn't my plan.
To write words that stink.     

Zurf wishing you all the very best for the future now that those tough years have past. Sorry about the pain of your loss and also the rubbish the government system has thrown  at you.

Here are my uneducated thoughts on rhymes in songs. I wish I could write more lyrics that rhyme I admire people that can do that. The repetition of similar sounds  creates patterns that are catchy or pleasing to peoples  ears. The alternating stressed and unstressed patterns in lyric lines create a rhythm that propels many well known song into our heads’ if that is good or bad I have no strong opinions on that. My songs and poems are mostly me writing as I talk and as a result means that in most cases they would never be likely to be top of the charts listening material.  What I think does help is when someone with a good voice and musicality like  Phill Williams can take my lyrics put them in a good order then add a chorus which does something that makes a song flow into  peoples ears better.     

I always thought with my little knowledge that Texas was a hot climate with lots of desert areas. Then the other night on TV here they showed a big motorway crash in Texas with trucks and cars sliding in the ice.  We are having a cold wintery summer here not sure what's    happened to the climate.

Cheers Ken I don't think lyrics that don't rhyme are a new popular genre. I don't have enough knowledge of modern songs to know for sure. The down side of my poetry and song writing is my words have very little rhyme so it does make it hard for someone to make it flow. I just hope my weird style some how works.     

Thank you Jim, Maree and I enjoyed our Valentines Day. It is summer here with the temperatures around  20 degrees Celsius or 68 Fahrenheit. This summer hasn't  been a typical one with cooler temperatures  than the usual average and some unseasonal storms. On good weather days it has been fantastic.
I hope your Valentines Day was a good one.     

Jeff I love the way you put this together. This song would resonate with many songwriters I am sure this is what happens when many a writer digs into  their head with all the material they have in there to paint stories or pictures with their words.     

Thank you Jeff
I am pleased how Phill and I were able to get this song together. Without Phill's superb talent this song wouldn't have come together.     

Interesting insight Easy Beat. Essentially, when I put some music into the public domain here on chordie it's because I am inviting feedback; hopefully constructive feedback at that. Though positive feedback from people on chordie is something that builds my confidence I don't get my self-esteem from it. I think I should maybe fit more of chordie into my internet time and make more comments on other people posts. At the same time, I don't want the internet and social media sites to rule my life. One of the many upsides with chordie is I get to write a song with talented people like Phill which is a real privilege. I am pleased you enjoyed the song  thank you for your support.     

Cheers  Phill I am not a fan of Seagulls when I am down by the sea having something to eat. They are onto anything food as soon you look  away annoying scavengers. Maree wakes up in the morning and wishes the birds would shut up.  Me  I love the sound of their dawn chorus. We have a brand of beer called Tui  or as some people call it Two Eyes. We also have another brand called Lion Brown Beer which some people call Lying Down Beer.
