type='text'>Thoughts</title><content type='html'>Right now I am just thinking. I feel as if it is good to set aside sometime everyday to just think. More times than not when I think , the thought ends in either a poem or lyrics for a song. Which gets me thinking, people say that 1) Poetry is easy to right you just take a topic through a bunch of related words together and make the end of each sentence rhyme and bam you have a poem. I myself would call that a bunch of words thrown together and that about it. 2) It is also said that writing songs is easy all you have to do is write a poem and  again bam you have lyrics for a song. on subject 1) If all you had to do is pick a topic and throw a bunch of rhyming words together every one would be a poet. and on subject 2) right lyrics for a song takes alot of differnt working parts doing there thing together , you have to worry about the beat , and when the guitar is playing, you have to make sure each verse fits, they cant be too short or too long, you have to make sure there is enough of a pause that the singer can take a breathe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                But hey thats just me thinkin,&lt;br /&gt;

I am a publish author of over 300 poems on a broad spectrum of topics in many different styles. I prefer to write up beat poetry with a flare on the romantic side of things, As an artist I draw my inspiration on many things, though love of my wife and children seem to be muses to most of my more liked pieces. I aim to post my favorite pieces on this post so that you the reader might enjoy to read what I enjoy to write. Like them or hate them I hope that you might leave me a message let me know what ya think. I enjoy some input, it only makes my writing better!
