Topic: Song! Wordless In Canada.

Just came to have my lunch and seen this post. Arsdteach, i to would prefer
to see your own written words.
This is just a quickly written silly piece to get the message to you. It doesn't have to be all complicated to get the message across.
Ps, My dog is delighted with you, he has just eaten my now cold lunch!
The experts here are wonderful at freely giving advice..

Wordless in Canada?      Helena Donovan.
         
You said you couldn’t write a song
Your words were very few.
The words you did compose
May sound corny just to you.

Your honesty within the post
Is what appealed to me
Your not into stealing lyrics
But give credit where its due.
Chorus.
Your not wordless in Canada
Your music already saying
Compliments from people
Your gift is in your playing.

So play Guitar pick and strum
Hold it like your lover
Let your mind sail and chill
Some words will drift or hover..

She can be the softest thing
To touch, love, and hold.
Her scent, smile, her beauty
A million words about her soul.
Chorus

So Wordless in Canada
dont fret cry or rattle
this could be worse
you could be known
As Sleepless In Seattle.

Ardsteach from the forum
These Corny words record
I’ve just spent my lunchtime
Answering your call.

Hey Helena,

You have shown how easy it can be but I suggest that Ardsteach eat his lunch before starting to write as we do not want his dog getting overweight.

So young man the ball is in your court, Old Doll has thrown the gauntlet, can you pick it up and put words down?

Seriously Ardsteach, do have a go even if it takes several attempts. Nobody on this Forum has ever made fun of, or belittled anyone else's work. Praise and helpful comments where it is due and encouragement to continue is the norm. Our very own Upyerkilt, Ken wrote a song about a little black flea which I think is still on YouTube. I have just posted one about my favourite fantasy writers so can you think of a more unlikely subjects for a song than those?

To whomever this song was adressed to:
I have to throw in, that if the music is good enough, even half descent lyrycs can be acceptable. So work on being an awesome player and let the words take back seat smile

To Old Doll:
Nice song, and good advice. I like this line

dont fret cry or rattle
this could be worse
you could be known
As Sleepless In Seattle.

All You Need is Love smile

Re: Song! Wordless In Canada.

No Ark i never did!
I enjoy writing, always did! I see the power in everyone elses words,
not so much in my own. I did have 2 pieces published. I have never
submitted, this was done by other people!  One about a guy who
called here 30 years ago. A knife sharpener,middle aged Very fit man. He had been in the circus, most of his life. As he was sharpening my garden tools
he started telling me all about his life. Well i did ask him as i do find other people worlds fascinating.
On that lovely hot sunny day, his smell was axle grease.He had the most beautiful blue eyes,shining like diamonds in his head. A shyness i will never forget and a wonderful Belfast Accent. He told me all about himself.
I knew Ark when he left that day i would never forget him. I captured him on
paper, but he captured me in my mind. To this day i long to talk to him again.
Impossible now as i discovered some years ago he has passed to his own Circus beyond. Feel sad now even thinking of Him. I never can understand
why people have this affect on me?
My other piece was about Womans Issues. Woman in this country were very
badly treated for to long! My involvement in trying to improve this, led me to write a piece, Which was submitted  to the EEC and Bundas Bank looking for funding for womans needs in my area. I was never a very political person
but i always had a very strong sense of life and the Injustice that sometimes comes with it.We had a powerful womans group then. To this day i hold
them with the greatest love and admiration. They are now spread far
and wide, But they laid very important foundations. Which our community
to this day benifit from. Thinking of all this now, reminds me of how much energy i had then. Those wee gofers in the zoo always remind me of us
back then. Furrowing away underneath all the S##t  and obstacles
they threw at us. Each barrier we broke down,would make us brave enough
to take on more.

Yes! we got our funding. I was asked to read my piece at a very large venue.
I remember how nervous i was.
Insecurity is a horrible feeling. Never did learn how to drop kick that one?
Probably why i dont do anything with my written words.
The forum here gives me the freedom to do this. "Thank You Per".
Ark my Stroll Soul, Bet you sorry you asked the question!!
God what am i like? one simple question and you get a tome of an answer!
I think i need therapy? I also need to get my Ass outa here to prepare
for a wedding later in the week. Not mine i hasten to add. Sure ill leave that
to all you lovely young people, i just help to make you all look purdy on the day.
Speaking of days Ark!
Have a happy one.

Old Doll.
