Our Never Had Romance

Part of the "Lady of the Sweetest Smile" series, the song is samg by Guillherme Shroeter of Brazil, who wrote the music to my lyrics.

Parts of this read like they were written by Yoda. Speak plainly. Inverted sentence structures don't scan well. They make the phrase more difficult to parse, thus draining the line's meaning and impact. You should be crafting your phrases so they fit naturally into your rhyme and meter without having to jumble the words to make them fit.

Edit: I have my sound off, so I didn't hear the music, so I'd just read it as a poem.

Inverted sentence structure is used citing poetic licence as an excuse, and also the fact that Hiberno-English as a dialect that we speak often features such structures as opposed to Queens English.

The lyric was written with music as opposed to reading in mind... and Guillherme put music to it. Whenever you have the chance to listen to it give it a beryl.

However, I appreciate your feedback, and while a tad harsh (Yoda!!!), its welcome.

Yours in StarWarsesque Poetry
