Greatest Poem of the World

I wanted to write a title that evoked narcissism. Am I a narcissist? Do you ever wake up and wonder that about yourself? I mean, you are always thinking about yourself, right? Don't you think about yourself all the time? I read a book once (a few times, it's a good book), The Untethered Soul, …

Another Blip in the Hololive Cover-Verse: Gawr Gura Song #2 is a Collab

There is a song that is so overdone in Hololive. It's titled King and there have been 11 covers (multiple karaoke versions converted to clipper versions) by: 0 Gen: Sora, Roboco (cute giggle at beginning); 1st Gen: Matsuri; 2nd Gen: Shion, Ayame (cute giggles throughout that make this my fave version); 3rd Gen: Flare; 4th …

Let’s Write a Book This Weekend

Each book starts with a first page I was working on a first chapter of a story. It was just an idea. Books are like that: they start with 'just' an idea. If I place a first chapter, would you all want to write a second chapter? Could you keep it to one page of …

Some New Lyrics, or a Poem?

When I write lyrics or poetry it does depend a lot on the music I've written. Sometimes the lyrics come, and I make them fit into the music and figure out hooks and such as I write. But sometimes the music writes the lyrics. Since I haven't been able to get to my guitar, I …

As Marvin Gaye Once Asked, “What’s Going on?”

In the U.S. violent crimes, such as murder, have increased at a record high since the 1990's. Property damage has also seen a bump. What does that say? Pandemics are bad for your health in more ways than one? https://youtu.be/Y9KC7uhMY9s I love this original recording taken in 1973 (I was 12-years-old). This was during another …

Is It Friday? A Poem and Good Music

This week went by like a gust of wind. I honestly had to look at a calendar to remember what day. Now, that could be my problematic and deteriorating brain. I am about to turn 60. But I had a few poems I've been adding to my Intermission Poetry collection. Grace has been unfortunately, very …

A Long Poem – The Solitary Knock on the Door

This is a long form poem (735 words). I was trying to make it in an Edgar Allan Poe'esque type style. This came to me because recently I've been getting the smell of smoke in my apartment while I'm alone writing. There have also been odd knocks, winds howling through our apartment corridor, squeaks and …

Gawr Gura Finally Gets a MV… kind ‘a?

There is a common momage (adages mom say) that goes like this: "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." But if I listened to this then I wouldn't be able to rant. [EDIT: I realized this was too negative and tried to edit to a more well-rounded review more …

SoundCloud and Fanfics (should I admit this?)!

And so, I'm in between jobs, at the moment. I have a bunch of music I've written. I noticed people download the songs here, and that's fantastic. I'm glad some enjoy listening to my stuff but... Music First Recently, Soundcloud announced that after April 1st they will be paying us for people listening to our …

A Poem – In God’s Merciless Design

I started to write this poem maybe more than a few weeks ago. I wanted to keep the timing even in it's unevenness? Does that make sense? It was also possibly a rap song. Haha If you can guess what it's regarding then major kudos to you. I wrote it with so, so many in …
