Tom ~ I have had my head stuck.. somewhere. Time to drag it out for poetry. I just now read Rambi's post and your response. Ha! More like sitting under a tree, slightly tipsy from fermented cider, while doling out what are taken for deep riddles, because they sound wise but don't quite make sense. Could be they just don't make sense. But then what does?
Penni is wonderful, too, and the family. I know what you mean about hearing something you wrote, or helped write, as a song. Penni snatched up a poem, went to the piano, and boom!! 'Twas music. It was so incredible to hear it come to life, and her voice is so lovely.
It was fun bringing in the "box" that I carry my life in and going through it. And funny to find snippets and bits, and scratch my head. "I wrote that??? When??" Good thing I usually date them. Then on the penni liked, there was a scrawl at the bottom from someone else. "I love you, <word>". I read it as a name, signature, and was a bit distressed that I had no recollection of the person. "Who loves me?" Then realized it said "honey" and recalled who wrote it. Ah, well.
Your song is neat. Maybe we'll get to hear it sometime. |
