Good writing my dear and good luck with your music, oh..and by the way, if you dont mind me asking.
How long have you been writing?
To me..writing is just like everything else, the more you write the better lyricist you will become.
VocalsBass, I'm glad you liked the poem. I wasn't sure how well my use of the word "womb" would go over with people! The word usually makes me giggle, maybe because it reminds me of "wombat."

A chelo! Do you mean a blond, fair-skinned, blue-eyed person? I *used* to be blond when I was 5...but I don't think that will count now that I'm mouse-brown!

Thank you for the encouragement. In answer to your question, I began writing poems when I was 12, just for myself, because I liked to reflect on my feelings and life by writing about them. I was 12 quite a long time ago, so if practice does cause improvement, then I should be much improved!

Then around 2 years ago while I was making up a poem for someone, when I thought of the words they "came with" a tune. Ever since then I've been writing lyrics rather than just poems, because the words and tune kind of come "packaged" together when I imagine them.

Thanks again for your comments and question!
