So, did anyone write about the "Man From Nantucket" yet? :P

Paul, there are 2 or 3 references to that poem buried in these pages. Do you know the many versions. I found some funny friendly ones on sodahead.

Thanks for posting Fender Strat Brat, I quite liked your poem.

From the sky rain is falling
tiny splashes into droplets forming
green plants and grasses drink the heavens offering
as a cascade of agua blankets the earth this morning


Very nice. Makes me want to put on my rubber boots so I can slosh in the puddles.

You are welcome, Solid Body Love Songs. I can not take credit for my poem, as it was given to me by my father who has passed long ago. He was a sailor (as I for several years), and poetry was common on the ocean. Thought you might like it.

You and others here certainly shine in this beauty of words.

I have written lyrics since my boyhood, but, sadly, I remain a humble rookie admiring your skill and offerings.

Considering today's repetition of simple lyrics, I can only hope to improve on my songwriting.

Until then . . .

Ciao


Fender Strat Brat, credit is all yours Bro. The apple a day rule apply's. I am touched. Thank you too. Your skill does show.
I changed a word above because I thought wet and blanket both in the same sentence might be too easy lol. what do you think FSB ?-)


SBLS - Your kind words are appreciated. Aqua is a great alternative choice for your wet and blanket submission - that works for me. I rather like the change. (Having Aquamarine coloured drums doesn't sway me a bit :wink: )

a stormy Thursday rumbles in
lightning crashing thunder begin's
from a rainy night still raining this morning
as the new day is dawning stretching and yawning

If I were to sit and write
A thoughtful poem in the night,
I wouldn't pen it just for me . . .
I'd scribe it, send it all to thee.

And so I just did

Very cool thanks for posting FSB. 8)

why
a small word with an extra ordinary depth of connotation
asked regularly at all levels of interest and frustration
of people who couldn't possibly know why
in the context of the application

why's implications
such a small word such big expectations
could it be as simple as the word without too many complications
why, it is in the context of the interest and the frustration
is why that is and that is why

a haiku for my uncle Stan on the occasion of his 75th ....

How can age matter
When matters age, forgotten?
....All is here and now

SBLS., thanks to you and the others, I've been introduced to haikus. I'm not quite there, however, Alex. I haven't quite made it to 75 yet. Pass on good birthday wishes to your Uncle Stan. As for my reaching 75, you can tell him I'm working hard at it, and I'm sure he has some advice on how to be cool at his age. 8)

The problem with haikus is that you need Neil Peart on drums.

Not a lot of drummers would be comfortable playing a 17-beat, which a haiku is.
Bill Bruford qualifies too, I think (Lark's Tongue's in Aspic).

5-7-5 for a total of seventeen, more like 8) Must admit that I'm not familiar with Haiku in a percussion setting :o
Larks' Tongues in Aspic ...I'd pretty much forgotten that. Thanks for the reminder.
cheers,
Alex
