copying other peoples work can help - its ok, cause you will be using it for an exercise - what I mean by copying is try to reproduce a song you like, something different from what you are writing now - see how thats done, then use the same approach for your new material. Myself, I'm working...

lyrics first. Its a lot of work to fill the music in after that! LN

Yeah, the first one - see, I wrote these on the commuter train - and I was kind of working some stuff out - so I didn't see untill I typed it in here that I had used the same word twice! so, no it is either weak or wrong depending on how strict you are. Sonnet - form, (as I reacall) 10...

Aahhh - I just hear it now ... I'm really glad you this inspiration from it.

For me, the only 'comment' that really counts is, did you like it, or didn't you ... re: the israel/palestine thing - well, that may reveal a bit about my politics... but do you know about this fence (or wall, depending on who you ask) that israel is building between themselves and the...

Hi All, I've been writing some sonnets to work on my 'poetry chops' - I'm in school - studying music, and the one thing I haven't been doing much of is, ironically, *writing* music... I think it will be pretty obvious that this is about a boy I keep running into here... (He's in 2 of my...

Hello Lala, I feel very strange seein you - as Lala is my handle in several other online communities... Layla Nahar

THAT looks good!

I'm afraid I'm going have to take up the debate here. Myself, I work really hard to write everyman lyrics in the language of day to day use. I could make a rhyme by using a literary word, but I shun this - you'll virtually never see something like that in what I write. I don't do this...

Re: Here's one for you....... I was going to comment on this ... but some things get lost in translation. oh, ok - "go to hell, you bastard!" that's pretty damn funny

Wow. I never even *heard* of tool - before I came to this place (not this bboard, but a certain learning institution... I can't say that I ... for example, I just always thought Rush had no reason to exist ... Tool, I can see the appeal, and somehow respect it .... but... a song based...

what's up with radio? I never even hear famous people on the radio. Who knows what anything is anymore, anyway?

My god Joro, I'm so sorry. That's awful. How are you doing? I hope your family is all coping as well as possible. Had she been ill? Again, I'm so sorry to hear this. with Sympathy Layla

various sources. interactions & people. A lot of interior stuff. I really wish I could do angry - but when I try it just sounds so ... bad psyco babble stuff. Alanis Morrisette is the only person who can pull that off, and she only suceeds 10 percent of the time. I'm a little low on...

PORCA MISERA ! la Madonna et touti santi! When will this end!?

Sorry - trememlo is an oscilation in AMPLITUDE, vibrato is an oscilation in FREQUENCY. Please excuse me for being such a pedantic ball-buster. LN

I am constantly fighting the same beast myself. exactly as you said. I get away from it best when i focus on images rather than thoughts. when you study prose writing they say 'show, don't tell" but it aint always easy.

seems what you've hit on is that creativity is not *just* about 'flow' or instinct. A big part of producing good stuff is an intellectual or analytical overview of what you are doing. It helps to make progresss if you take a 'high-level' view of your creative endeavours. I think that is the...

whenever I tried to write poetry, it came out sounding like lyrics ... Thats when I realized GOD was sending me a message :p

This is probably not the answer yo want, and I don't mean to be a wize-ass, but Lots of experimentation keep working working working keep writing, singing, refecting. don't expect miracles do expect results in other words, there is no magic bullit, just persitance in the face of your own...
