The poem before the song...

Staring at the flickering screen
my eyes begin to numb
I go and grab some more caffeine
what have I now done
an office chair at home so plush
tucked in a corner space
just sitting here when came a rush
brought a smile right to my face
its 1 AM this days been long
its time I go to bed
I'll close this out with a new song
that just popped in my head


Our University song

It would seem this thread
Has taken flight
To places often dreamt of
We ride on
Star light Sailing ships
Masts Strung tight
With 4 to Drive
And Carols from above to guide us.

[starsailor]

Across the net
We surf with ease
From England and America
To the far flung Antipodes
Lines of words written with cheer
Float up into the Atmosphere
Then tumble down to our PCs

Threads still moving what can I say
time for some direction how about we play
some sort of game...a challenge OK


The continuing poem slash song
lyrics from us all to move it along
one line at a time is fine
next to play decides when to rhyme

if your game I'll show no shame
and get this off to a start with this little bitty part


The willow tree was dancing ever so gently in the breeze....

Was it weeping? I don't think so, looked more likely it would sneeze!

Sorry, that was very, very silly, I'll try to be serious......

Do you want this to be a serious attempt at writing a song? I think we should have at least some idea of what we are trying to do here before we start (sorry it doesn't rhyme).

[X4StringDrive]

Carol, Carol, Carol, have you ever known me not to be serious? lol

Your right I/We should define the goal....I'm good either way, as to continuing the fun or trying to get serious and do it up proper...what cha thinking?

Edit: I'm off to lala land so I'll see tomorrow what you all think!

{sorry knight, I added to your line to work in my mind, let me know if it doesn't work for you guys}

Not a problem Kenny, everything is OK

[carol m]

Sorry I’ve been absent, friends
Sometimes we can’t always choose
How we spend our time most wisely-
Then, back-seat, the writing muse.

I am watching from afar
As you all progress,
You’ve been busy, that I see-
How your words and thoughts impress!

Elves and fairies, there are plenty
Knights and sailors, less
Quite a serious venture this
Not like my usual mess.

This requires some heavy thought,
Not enough, my casual jest-
Quite a challenge, I would say,
Quite a mental torture test.

Thinking time is what is needed
On my part at least,
How to come to terms and tackle
Such an awesome beast……………….

[X4StringDrive]

Carol, We're the blind leading the blind
America wouldn't of been discovered if Columbus used us for directions...lol

I shuffled it up some...what cha all think?



A new sunrise dries weeping leaves while songbirds sing sweet melodies
The willow tree was dancing............................ ever so gently in the breeze

Dew Drops adorned her branches Like diamonds glowing bright
that appeared to me..............................In the twilight of the night
{spoken} prism-like reflections lit the show

I thought they were just stories read from books on grandma's knee
And I watched them chase their shadows......... as they began to flee
