SHOCK, HORROR - REVERSE

Post by Maureen K Clifford » Sat May 14, 2011 11:54 am

Mannie said in a previous post in the We will remember them section
try as I might, I just couldn't fit the feelings into a rhyme-n-metre structure. Mostly when pondering pieces, the structure (from within the piece) will make itself evident. Then, with that structure revealed, the words (sort of) fall into place. However there are some pieces that just don't fit ANY structure. I don't fight the Muse but simply 'lay it out' as She dictates ...
Totally agree with his thoughts and with the points David has made as well - sometimes the words you want to say won't fall into a rhyming scheme and to force them often means they don't have the same depth of meaning.

That was exactly the case with this one I did for my son - when I wanted to show as well as tell him how much I appreciated the man he has become

I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.

A very expressive piece, Maureen. From the heart. Words, well used, can say so much.

David
