Poem to Music

If this poem was set to music

Would you be enthusiastic,

Or would it be a one-hit-wonder

Full of thunder

But no follow thru

From anything new?

I try to make it special

Instead of dreadful,

But the public is fickle,

It puts me in a pickle

As I try to entertain

And not to be distained,

I hope you like it.

Songs are just poems put to music. Listen to the lyrics. Savour the emotions behind the words as they blend with the notes of the song. So much can be said in so little time. The beat makes the feet move and then people learn the words and sing along. There is freedom in a poem. So much can be said. Words are an artform. Everybody uses them. The poet crafts them into meaningful expressions, which the listener hears and interprets. Music makes the words speak louder, and the whole world listens to music. So sing your song. Don’t be shy. You’ve got so much to say. People will listen.
