Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to Write Lyrical Limericks & Poems That Pay Has anyone ever made verse pay during their lifetime? Yes. Robert William Service - The Poet of the Yukon. "I may be the only living writer to have made more than $1,000,000 out of writing verse." That quote is from the Scots/Canadian writer of "The Shooting of Dan McGrew" and many other stirring verses. His was the poetry of the people and they bought it in droves. If your main ambition as a verse writer is to make money (rather than seeking literary fame) take a leaf from Robert's book - learn to write for regular folk. Words and rhythms that stir emotion, subjects that tug at the heart strings - "make 'em laugh, make 'em cry" you are an entertainer... a weaver of magic moments... a writer to be remembered, recited and quoted. It is my hope that some readers of this book will one day be able to make the above claim for yourself. Whatever your outcome, you will have a lot of fun trying. The pleasure of creative writing can be a reward in itself but if you want a wider audience it pays to know the techniques and tools of the trade. Master the art of poetry from a book crammed with tips and tricks, and masses of examples. Suitable for beginners and children but anyone can benefit. Learn or just read for fun. Have a look inside - it could be for you. There was a young man, a good poet, Was given a field so he'd sow it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the ‘Land of Song and Literature’ that is Wales, what could be more natural than writing music and poetry? So this book is a collection of song lyrics and limericks. It is primarily a light-hearted look at the worlds of song writing and poetry. But it is much more than that. It is also a patchwork quilt of interviews, autobiography and mythology. Each lyric and set of limericks is preceded by prose, related (sometimes tenuously) to the reason for writing the verse. The lyrics were not written as poems, they are verses divorced from their musical settings. Are song lyrics poetry? This is a theme which runs through the book. Nine authors and songwriters were asked this question. The list of those who contributed is like a ‘Who’s Who’ of Welsh music and poetry. Dannie Abse, Steve Balsamo, Peter Finch, Ron Griffiths, Paul Henry, Gwyneth Lewis, Robert Minhinnick, Mal Pope and solitary Scot Al Stewart. Their answers to this and other questions make fascinating reading. There is also a previously unpublished short poem from Robert Minhinnick and a two line verse from Paul Henry. What was their conclusion? Are song lyrics the same as poetry? For the answers be sure to read the entertaining ‘Lyrics and Limericks’. Book reviews online: PublishedBestsellers website.

Download or read book The Philosophy of Poetry written by John Gibson and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years philosophers have produced important books on nearly all the major arts: the novel and painting, music and theatre, dance and architecture, conceptual art and even gardening. Poetry is the sole exception. This is an astonishing omission, one this collection of original essays will correct. If contemporary philosophy still regards metaphors such as 'Juliet is the sun' as a serious problem, one has an acute sense of how prepared it is to make philosophical and aesthetic sense of poems such W. B. Yeats's 'The Second Coming', Sylvia Plath's 'Daddy', or Paul Celan's 'Todesfuge'. The Philosophy of Poetry brings together philosophers of art, language, and mind to expose and address the array of problems poetry raises for philosophy. In doing so it lays the foundation for a proper philosophy of poetry, setting out the various puzzles and paradoxes that future work in the field will have to address. Given its breadth of approach, the volume is relevant not only to aesthetics but to all areas of philosophy concerned with meaning, truth, and the communicative and expressive powers of language more generally. Poetry is the last unexplored frontier in contemporary analytic aesthetics, and this volume offers a powerful demonstration of how central poetry should be to philosophy.

This lively poetry will awake the beauty of your mind and help you find purpose. Some poems are humorous, intense, and expressive. Others are bold, politically incorrect, and brimming with candor, while many inspire chanting and singing, dancing and swinging, praise and worship. Limerick, Sonnet, Haiku, Pastoral, Odes, Narratives, Acrostics, are all written to create that essential dialogue within. These poems will stimulate quick smiles, light chatter, and a little laughter here and there. But they will also provoke deep thought, honest reflection and trigger those must-have conversations. Who are you, really? What is your purpose? Do you have a worldview? How is your relationship with God, self, and others? You will experience many moments of truth to ignore or embrace. Discover -- in spite of different times and circumstances, we are really not that different. We all have ups and downs, twists and turns, regrets, grief, happy moments, and of course -- a bit of nostalgia. Take this amazingly delightful journey with reality penned in poetry. It’s a creative, unique way to build your faith, find yourself, and understand your God-given purpose.
