hi alan,
just went to your myspace to find that you dont have any songs there...what happened, or is my computer playing up?

hi shionagh,

welcome to our little community, new blood...beautiful heartfelt words, wouldnt it be nice if more youngsters showed this much appreciation to their parents, i'm fortunate as mine do, but i've never had a song written for me...never mind.

thanks for sharing with us, looking forward to some more

hi ark,

i'm now totally chilled, great piece of finger-picking, and the mood-setting of the keyboard back-grounds are excellent...nice work

phill

thanks everyone,

now you mention it helena, the smell or scent of new mown grass always gets me, the smell of leather on willow, [cricket bat and cork ball] fabric softner on work clothes, fresh bed sheets after a hot bath or shower...i'd better not go on...

thanks russ, whimsical eh?

hi alan, i never thought of fairies as malevolent, just as those pretty little things with gossamer wings...yes i would go back to the silent if i was you and see if the place lives up to the memory.

hi selso, sorry i didnt mean to slap your wrist, or pull you up, but wales is wales, england is england and ne'er the twain shall meet, except on the rugby pitch, where we beat 'em 2 years running, [they did beat us before that] but all that matters is the last game...and one day we might even beat ireland...we live in hope

This is a memory of a meadow in my home village of Llwynhendy way back in the 50's when my friends and I used to play there. I don't think we appreciated the beauty of the place then. Now it's a housing estate, so it lives on in memory only.

a great description of an english village as i remember them

well done

Hi Snowden,

yes this is the place to post this most wonderful work, although this forum is called poems, you can also put in work in progress, if you want to turn your poem into a song. Or if a member gets inspired by your words, then you may be asked if they can put it to music, or you may ask if someone can put music to it!
You can also post questions.

We try to help, encourage and enjoy each others thoughts, this is your site.

The images you invoke are quite lovely, I could imagine and visualise as I was reading.

Well done and thanks for sharing

hi jeff,

i guess that's the beauty of chordie, people can get inspired by someone else's work and...there ya go!

let us know when you've done a recording

when i joined chordie, i joined as a songwriter, but i saw that some offerings were largely poems with a chord symbol or two thrown in to make it look like a song! so i posted some of my poems. then the poem section opened so the poems went there and the closet poets also posted there which is a good thing i think? because it outed them so to speak.

then we come to poems being songs without music, like i said on the poem section elton john and bernie taupin got together by luck, and there's nothing to say that it couldn't happen here, after all there is probably truck loads of composers out there looking for a good verse to get them going.

i don't mind what the section is called but lyrics/poems sounds quite descriptive and gets my vote.

i really dont believe that song writers are abandoning ship because of the poem section, and i'd rather have my two main interests under one roof, i've also written short stories, but they wont get posted here...honest!

when your a writer your a writer, songs poems books...your a writer
