very cool.  i've both written poetry and songs. there are a few things i've learned about the whole poetry/song thing. first, a poem can rarely be converted to a song, at least directly. if you are willing to cut, and i mean LOTS of cuts, then it will be easier. but if you're like me killing any line in a poem and the image/conveyance that goes with it is like losing a frikkin limb! \n\ni also have found that they are really two disparate mediums. trying to use poetry to make a song is like trying to do impressionism with a color film camera. one of them uses the emotions conveyed through words which paint a visual image, the other (usually) uses sounds of words, with perhaps a dash of symantic meaning, to evoke emotion.  usually 90% of a song is timbre and tone -- simple, sometimes vague phrases doused with huge helpings of emotionally-packed sounds to bring the listener to a certain emotional place, and that emotional place coincides with your original vision.\n\nfinally, poets can do 10x better than most song-writers in the lyric arena. similar to how a jazz-trained drummer can do rock drumming while yawning, a poet can crank out word combinations, rhymes, assimilations, et al that most song-writers couldn't do if they had a gun to their heads. zack de la rocha notwithstanding, almost all rock lyrics would get miserably failing grades in any creative writing class -- trite, unoriginal, corny, all of the above...  you can use your poetic talents to do some impressive phrasing and add a quality that is rare in popular songs. just remember, allow a B or C in the "poetic phrase" category but make sure it gets an A in the "cool sounding" category.

The world needs more Poets.\n\nI agree grammar is important..unless misuse is deliberate.\n\nI did get a laugh over someone chastising you for poor \n\ngrammar by stating one word was "more correct"!!!\n\nCheck my poems on my Yahoo 360 and let me know what you \n\nthink by posting a comment and voting for favourites.\n\nA 360 site would be a good way for you to post your works \n\nas well.\n\n\nGood Luck\n\nJimmy

I was skeptical, but I went to your site.  Your ballads are awesome.  I like Someday the best, because it is soulful, almost "blusey".  Say What You Mean reminded me of the Beatles.  You HAVE to include How Can I Miss You.  Not because it's great music--because it is novel and will get a chuckle.  That will be the one to make you rich if you make it.  Whether you give me any free music, I am inclined to buy a track or two.  I pray for your success--you have something good going there.  Do you write your own music?

Always write songs "All together" without formatting. Be careful, when u insert a new CD, don't try to write songs in multi-session. Incase you do that next time when you want to continue adding more song the writer won't do. So better prepare a list of all songs, that will fill up your entire CD & burn it in one go.

Ahh, if there is a secret some tips for writting good song lyrics are\n\n1) Write about something you know about. Not things that your neighbors sister has, becuase all the emotions you feel, you need to write them down. Part of being a good lyric writer is relating to the audience so they feel excatly what you were feeling while writing the song.\n\n2) Using literay elements.  Metaphors, smilies, allitertion, assonece, hyperbole. All the good stuff you learned in school. They can be very moving if used correctly. Some examples, Panic at the disco's I write Sins Not Trageties. In the song he says "pacing the pews..." which is alliteration. If he would of said walking the pews, it fits but its not as powerfull.\n\n3) Write something original. Try and stay away from cliche lines like "Boy i thought you had my back" or "cut my wrists while the black blood flows from my heart" etc :)\n\nLast tip is to write alot. More you write the more better you get. Everything you think of, write it down quick and when you first write a song it doesnt have to be in "song form" it could be like an awesome bridge or hook you thought of while boiling pasta.

You're off to a great start. I've written a few in the past also; before I start writing, I listen to a few songs in the same catagory as the song I'm writing to get scenarios and detail ideas. I also use personal experiences to infuence my songs.
