She lays in bed
Sheets below her chin
I place the cup upon the table
She smells the brew and her eyes flicker open
Mmmm, she smiles... lovely
The wind and rain has given the sun a chance to warm the land
Shall we go walking I ask
Sun is out, washing day
Oh well back to my arm chair and the TV
I can relate to that one,well written
Hi Brian. As you mentioned in one of our chats, you tend to just write or sing on the fly as they say? I think Pete also does that. So I thought I'd give it a try, just write down the first things that came into my mind. I like to get up early so I can have peace to check my email and Chordie then watch a bit of TV. What an exciting life I have....?
Phill that is a good poem short and sweet it flows and is straight to the point. It is early Saturday morning here in NZ and like you I find the morning is a good time for me when I am the only one up and about. Since we retired Maree doesn't. surface until about nine. Back when I was working she use to be up at about 5 , 30 am. Though nowadays she quiet often stays up until 2am. I like to hit the sack before midnight. I write most of my stuff on the fly and mornings are mostly when I will put it all together things from days before that have caught my attention. Nowadays instead of writing stuff down with pen and paper when I am out I will quickly record my my thoughts using the voice recorder on my smart dog and bone (phone).
Pete. I prefer to have a song down on paper before recording. I begin with an idea which usually means a line or two or a chord sequence, which I then add to for sometimes up to a week before the song is finished. sometimes it's done in a day. I wrote 6 songs this year so far. I usually find that once I nearly finish one song another pops into my head. I'm rarely totally empty headed as far as music is concerned. Yesterday I hit a chord sequence but I couldn't find any words to go with them. It turned into an instrumental which I recorded last night, it's not brilliant but it's OK. I used to be able to make up words while jamming with my band (years ago) I've lost the knack now. But I do like the way you kiwi's can sing, speak or write your thoughts and make sense.
