I got 14 out of 15.    I could kick myself because the one I got wrong, I changed my mind at the last minute and got it wrong lol big_smile     

Peatle, thanks for the feedback.  It was fun trying to think of words to rhyme.  Yes, me to hope this cough goes away soon, slightly better today smile

easybeat, thanks for your comments too.  It kind of just developed into a conversation more by accident than on purpose smile

neophytte, thanks smile     

Ride
Kiss
Sad

I am still coughing so haven't entered anything last month or this month.  So tried to write a quick poem of sorts using the word ADORNING in it.  My writing skills are not the best when it comes to poetry or songs for that matter lol big_smile but at least it's an attempt and something to enter.  Hopefully my cough will go soon enough for me to be able to perform something soon.


ADORNING

"Hello there, good morning,
how did you sleep?"  he asked as I was yawning.
"Not so good" I replied.  "You kept me awake with your snoring".
"Oh, so sorry, I`m overtired" he said.
"For better or worse in marriage,
says that ring, ADORNING your finger".
We both chuckled as I grabbed the milk and continued pouring.
"What's on your schedule today I asked?"
"I need to go down to the mooring,
the boat needs some new parts which I will be ordering".
"By the looks of the weather warning, it will soon be pouring" he said.
"Oh, thought I would pop out for a bit,
go look at a new rug for the flooring.
This adoring purring cat of ours,
well, he ruined the last one with all his clawing".

neophytte, I remember this song that you and Jai did, just as enjoyable to listen and watch this time too.  I loved the concentration on Jai`s face.  Though your son will be older now, I hope you both still get to jam together sometimes.  I know you did one with Jai playing piano when he was older, hope this keeps up with you two smile

Thanks Jandle, I missed this yesterday (I went down the YouTube rabbit hole after watching Peatle - hahah) - yer, we still do the occasional jam, although he is working hard on his own music, mostly for his game, but he did lay down a solo for one of the songs I'll be releasing on CD. He played the songs in a solo piano performance he did as part of the schools musical show. 

Cheers

Richard

Jai is very talented by the looks of it neophytte with his music and creating games, very clever indeed.

Phill, great response from the toothless brother, haha smile

easybeat, that is a great poem right there.  Totally could visualize that whole scene and even the drawings to go with it.  Keep them coming and put them into a book.   Peatle love to see what sketches you have put together for these poems of easybeats.     

Peatle great to see you entering another song of yours.  The lyrics, "Seems like the world is broken", are thoughts many people around the world have been thinking these last few years. Good to see how you put this song together.  Always enjoy the videos you put together with your songs smile     

neophytte, I remember this song that you and Jai did, just as enjoyable to listen and watch this time too.  I loved the concentration on Jai`s face.  Though your son will be older now, I hope you both still get to jam together sometimes.  I know you did one with Jai playing piano when he was older, hope this keeps up with you two smile

NIce one Peatle, you seen to be playing your guitar with better movement, you were playing up and down the fret board and looked pain free?  Good topic, I think we all have those times and I for one, love to walk by the sea, go to the beach or go off walking in the woods.  Good soul food.

TIGJLK, I like this one and found myself singing along with it.  Nice one.     

Grah1, nicely performed by you all.  Good to see your writing skills as well with this one.  You're all looking very relaxed and comfortable as you perform. 

TIGLJK, another nicely written song by you, I wish I had your talent to write songs so easily as it seems for you. 

neophytte, I agree with Peatle, you can certainly perform a variety of genre`s, a good skill to have.     

On another note, I haven't entered anything yet as I am getting over a cold which has had me coughing.  So hopefully I will be over it before this month's FSOTM ends.

Peatle, that song is very true of people in today's world, old and young.  I am amazed when I am out and about, I often see exactly this situation.  Kinda sad huh?   I especially hate to see this when people are out for dinner or something and they spend all their time on the phone, I think, why bother going out together if you're going to be on your phone.
