Re: 4 o`clock (5 replies, posted in Poems)
OK Brian
I may be completely off my rocker but this is how I read that poem.
I pictured a guy in a bar that is open 24 hours a day. . He has been on a drinking binge and three 4 o' clocks have gone by - gonna be late for everything.
He has drank so much, if he was stopped by the police -he fail the sobriety test.
However - realizes he can't drive so he has to wait til he sobers up - making a good decision regarding his fate.
(Better to be late than dead or having something terrible occur.)
and that's when you know you wrote something really good Brian, when people see the word sand have very different interpretations. Well done.
Like Phill said in a different thread- it's a mute point by now as the ship has long sailed - but keep them coming Man !

Re: king of radio (5 replies, posted in Songwriting)
That is the one thing I hate about radio talk shows - when the caller calls in and proves the " king" wrong, the just move on to the next caller.
But sometimes, they do provide valuable info and company in long rides in the car by ourselves.

Awesome Peatle !
You and Phill have developed into poets that are the eyes of the world.
Quite enjoyable to read both of your works - masters at it for sure.
EasyBeat - thanks for stimulating everyone - we would have missed out on some great stuff without your challenge.
What would be great is if some others joined in .

Phill
What an awesome description.
I felt like i was experiencing the things you described.
Loved how it also changed the focus as it went on. great line to finish - "an olfactory orgasm" !
I'll be using that line in the near future, I am sure.
Thanks sharing it - very cool.
Cheers

Re: Empty Room (3 replies, posted in Poems)
I quite agree with Phill except for one line
I think maybe it could be interpreted that you are the light - bringing goodness to the dark.
I can also imagine this being someone stepping into their cabin on a lake - just to get away from the business of their everyday life and work.
Solace - even by themselves - kind of a recovery and re-energizing place.
proves that short verse can be as thought provoking as epic length writings.
Thanks for sharing Brian
Good one

Thanks for sharing that!

Agreed, Chordie has lost many voices on the forum.
I just read the last post - I think it is spam - the earlier posts began with beamer, had mekidsmom and CG responding - those were from 2018.

Nice tidbit of a rhyme that is spot on about so much music lately.
There is a lot of great music, but a large percentage is exactly how you describe it.
Good to see you posting.

Re: Mother With The Lost Child (12 replies, posted in Poems)
Perspective is everything.
Jesus was missing ( at least in the bible from 12-30 years of age) does that make him a homeless person or a vagrant ?
Yogi's are isolated for years sometimes - same thing.
Nicely written Peatle- and again I agree with Phill - poetry need not rhyme.
You really should submit you poems to magazines of websites that that accept poetry for all to see. No sense of keeping good stuff all to yourself!
CHEERS !
PROST ! ( I learned this one on my European trip )

Seems there are more and more like that - not only in bars - but in schools, hospitals,
picnic areas etc... really - everywhere !
I suppose it's their way of enhancing their self image and gaining attention.
legends in their own minds I guess
as for him being a bedroom rockstar - I would believe it verges on vicarious experiences - more fiction than non-fiction.

Topic: Astral Woman in Blues (0 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Well I spent a week traveling from Basel to Amsterdam and on the last night I heard a blues song that was sounded so beautiful. I got to thinking that my Astral Dream Woman song might fit so much better into the blues. So when I got home I changed it up to this.
Let me know what you think. I'm "pretty sure" I did this in 12 bar blues style, about 80 BPM tempo.
