Easter Poem

[SwordFish]

Why do I get the feeling that you're jerking my chain?

No Giaour

I am not jerking your chain you really did write a four verse song called "Words" and I played it out on my guitar with my own sound of course cause I couldn't hear the voice in which you wrote it in. I can't pick the notes to the melody within the song due to an operation affecting the nerves in my hand but played the rhythum using the chords in which I chose and they went good with it. If you do not believe me that is fine but you did write a song and those words can be put in leadsheet form for others to play and sing. I write songs myself and have them published so I know you have a song written now called "words" it is a beautiful song with good positive message in it very uplifting feel that is in it. But I by no means are jerking your chain sorry you feel that way I only was meaning to encourage you in your talents that I see you have.

When I wrote my first song I couldn't believe it either but it was still true. blessings

You definately encouraged me.

So much, that I was skeptical.

Thank you, I'm kinda dumb struck.

I just write things that get put in my head.

I never dreamed they could be songs.

What is leadsheet?

I would love to hear the melody you have with the words.

Is it slow or fast?

Is it gospel or country?

Just VERY curious.

Thank you for the push I needed to DO something with my tons of poems.

I thought about a book but I didn't seem to be drawn towards that idea.

I have a poem about not being sad at death but rejoice instead. I thought it could be made into a song.

MOURN

Please don

Hello Giaour,

A leadsheet is the song in print like when you open up a songbook and it has all the words and notes and things to the songs on it. If you would give me your permission I can get it in leadsheet form for you at no charge to you and you will have the rights. But if I do it this way, it will have to be done in the particular way in which I heard the song in my head so it may be different version of the song that was in your heart when you wrote it. I can't do it any other way unless you were to sing the song on a cassette tape the way it was when you were writing it but that is up to you but I can get what i have thus far in leadsheet form for you and mail it to you when it is finished if you so desire you will be tickled i'm sure as i was when i first heard and saw my first song in print. I will let you know when I have it ready give me about 3 to 4 weeks as I have to go out of town for about a week.

Most of my stuff comes up in the country gospel field as i guess i'm just a country bumpkin you can't change what we are and what we are is how it comes out. Most of my stuff I will demo the songs and people in the churches around use them to sing from the soundtracks. This is a tremendous blessing to have this ability and a good way for your songs to bless others and be used. And if you can sing yourself you can sing your own songs in this way. Usually the demo tracks I do of my songs have these instruments in them but maybe not all of them at one time unless the song is complimented by them or made stronger =steel guitar, drums. violin, piano, guitar but all my stuff has a southern country gospel feel to them.

But just let me know and I'll get on it only to be a blessing to you.

Hey Giaour,

Once again, amazing poem

[darkest_red]

Though turning them into songs is a nice idea, I still think they work equally well as poems. I'm not really much into poetry (I'd much rather listen to a song, truth be known), but your poems held me.

[Giaour]

Such a sweet thing to say, Red.

Thank you

Thank you

No need to thank me, I meant it. Usually I tend to just skim read poems, but I read each singular word of yours. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.
