Clearwater Blue


Aloha,
     Here is a morning photo with shadows and a variety of colors
 and brightness. Writing  also requires this kind of
"range" in dynamics. Let's try that today.                           Enjoy!



Genre: Country Blues

                          My Own Sweet Time

It's true I called you, thought of something we could do
Would run for a while, stay clever have a smile
Wherever we would go, you could bet we went
Oh the time we chose, the time we spent

I liked it there, yes it's true
Yes I did, with someone like you
Gave you my hand, you shook it fine
I gave you my own sweet time 

A little shy, I had my reasons, took my time like the seasons
Saw your beauty, you had me there, sweet smile flowy hair
Jumbled words and little rhymes, took it slow in due time
You shook my hand then my mind, I gave you my own sweet time

Waikiki Flower


Aloha,
                Today we will continue to explore different genres of lyric writing. The "writer's life" usually requires some form of inspiration. This can be anything from a beautiful memory to a photo. I shot this photo with Waikiki Beach only a few feet away. The flower adds beauty to a beautiful setting. It is the inspiration for today's lyricism.                                    Enjoy!






Genre: Environmental Poetry


                    Scant Remains

So easy to go out lose your fire
Find nothing left only burnt desire
To leave so much doubt, doesn't take brains
When everyone runs out scant remains

If the claw of silence becomes complete
The laws of science still compete
Falling so far with yet to feel any pains
When everyone runs out scant remains

Remembered beginnings have no end in sight 
As conjured collections take fearless flight
Will we look back in wonder the loss and the gains?
When everyone runs out scant remains

                       Hot Cool Cat

A hot light overhead cool one made a stand
Made me part of her natural plan
Always calling me her hot cool cat
Who doesn't love that?

She takes me to parties and just likes to sit
Makin' me part of her personal kit
Her friends all throw me the welcome mat
Who doesn't love that?

Tell me now who doesn't love that
A tap on the head and a pat on the back
With a kiss and a hug I hang my hat
Who doesn't love that?

Some jealous few call me lazy
Just as soon see me pushing up daisy
But she stays by my side always chewing the fat
Who doesn't love that?
