I'm currently writing a series of poems, some of them are on my blog, don't want to reveal my blog until there's stuff worth reading on them.
Basically, I want to create a series of poems, one for each month of the year. It may be related to a concept I relate to that time, or an experience I had then.
Here are two of them:
(fwiw, here's a photograph I took in January (yes, I know the poem is a bit wrong there) that inspired the poem http://i28.tinypic.com/292xiq8.jpg )
They're really really good Colm
I especially love "June", it's simply a glorious poem! 0 -

Thanks man
You mean recording gear? We're lucky in that we've got a relative of the guitarist who really wants us to do well, and he happens to be in the money aswell :pac: So a few months ago he surprised us and bought one of these
And it's the balls

Like, I'm a dude, and I sang along with her and it felt low even for me. There's no way that can be 'too high' for her, considering she's female. Just my two cents!
I'll keep that in mind, and while I didn't notice it really before, a few of you have pointed it out now, and it's obvious, thanks 0 -

I've been working on the series for some time now, as I've just hit 11 posts on my blog I've decided to start advertising it: http://asisaidiwould.blogspot.com/
Four of them are there, I'm hoping to do more before I leave for IC.0 -

It reminds me of Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds.0 -

Ok, so I was practising drawing hands last night, and so, for funsies I decided to have them spell a certain internet site :P
Sorry about the shíttyness of the picture, it's taken on my phone as I have no camera
And, I know, the 's' is terrible, but you try making an 's' shape with one hand! :P0 -
Sorry to pimp the band again, but we just put 2 new songs on the myspace page, any comments would be appreciated 0

The first two are pretty good, I like the singer's voice.
Something happened to my webpage which made Rivers and Rocks play three times over each other, with about one second in between each of them. Turned it into an epic wall-of-sound, lost shoegazing classic.

The egg with the musical notes around it wouldn't happen to be a link's awakening reference would it?0 -

The only other Creative Writing thing I've done was a silly Irish song about a bigamist
I've only just re-found this.
A silly song I wrote like a year and a half ago (no one will read this, will they? )
If anyone knows it, I set it to the tune 'Courtin' in the Kitchen'Come all ye gather round
And listen to me tale
Last night was homeward bound
But i stopped and had a wail
For I bumped into Eileen
She asked what I was thinkin
I says to her; “You know, you don’t look too bad after drinkin’?”
With me toora loora la
Me toora loora laddie
A-toora loora la
And me toora loora laddie
I moved in a bit closer
To satisfy my hunger
She said “Do you like fish?
‘Cos you smell like a fishmonger”
At this I took great hurt
She said “I’m only jokin’”
She smiled and she laughed as my face she started strokin’
With me toora loora la....
She led me by the hand,
With this i was uneasy
A Colleen dragging Paddy could look, to others, sleazy
I entered to her house
As we kissed one another
As she turned on the light, standing, staring was her mother
With me toora loora la....
Well she raised up a broom
And madly started screaming
So I ducked and I manoeuvred and said, “I best be leavin’”
The mother wouldn’t budge, so I pushed her out the window
I thought that she was dead, until in the door she walked so
With me toora loora la....
And so I stayed the night, outside I left me carriage
Awoken by her mother, say’s “When will be the marriage?”
Since you are acquainted with my youngest daughter
If you do not wed her, then by god, there will be slaughter
With me toora loora la...
So later on that day, to her I vowed to marry
With her mother still in pain, to the pub I had to carry
I dressed meself all nice as I went to pop the question
But my suit it got all ripped by an eejit at the session
With me toora loora la...
The wedding day it came, i prayed for no disaster
I grinned as I looked over at her mother all in plaster
The priest he said to me “Will, as your bride, you take her?”
When in my marched my wife and says “No he bleedin’ won’t sir”
With me toora loora la.....
Chaos did ensue, with everybody screaming
I said “Will you shut up? And just listen to my feelings:”
“One wife is too few, and three wives is too many
But two seems quite alright – just Eileen here and Jenny
With me toora loora la.....
So now I’m left with none, but the best of both world’s sampled
Of wives I’ve had a few, as my wealth it is quite ample
But Eileen’s always special, To me, she’s like no other
And the icing on the cake, was the passing of her mother
With me toora loora la....
If you read all of that, fair fúcking play0 -

I just read all of it.
Now, I insist that you a) link me to a version of the original recording of "Courtin' In the Kitchen" and b) record a version of your own lyrics and post it in the Soundtrack to Your Angst thread 0 -

I recorded it at the time, even thinking about it makes me cringe. I could pm you it, but I'll warn you - it's even worse than my attempt at Raglan Road :eek:0 -

I haven't heard that song before. But the Toora Loora made me think you were talking about this song:
Also, your version was very funny!0 -
