Peotry and music

[Bsbazaar]

Hi all friends. Peoms and music both give energy for my life. They have been my very special friends. They hold special meaning in my life. Nature create universe and human create Poem, painting and music this make humans a Very special living being.
I began to read poems when i was 20 years old. i used to hate poems before i was 20 but i used to love stories. But these days i love poems more than novels and stories, specially modern poems (20th century poems)
I just read Charles bukowski i read his 50 poems oh my god they are amazing. I was amazed by his style and openness. He has draw the image of human feelings, modern human livings, low class society and it's people's pain and anger and dissatisfaction in very genuine way. I am very much impressed. Not only Ginsberg but bukowski and T.S elliot these three are god for me.
Yesterday i bought Nina Simone she is astonishing. Everyone Must listen her. She is one of the gem of 20th century music.
I love Jazz, Blues, Soul, Funk, Rock music of 1960's and 70's.

poetry i like..... but only meaningful .... which words can make human a better human.................... i think poetry is good form to express your thoughts ....meaning less poetry is nothing to me

I think that it's a hard choosing what do you like most - poetry or novels and really don't understand how you can like and hate them. There are wonderful novels and poetry and vice versa.

Poetry is one of the arts that sits well amongst all the other art forms. I write for both adults and children. Poetry, especially poems with a rhyme and rhythm, are easier for children to learn, and a short poem, performed well, can help children to learn how to project their voices without shouting, how to put expression into their poetry and will build up their confidence. Poetry can be put to music of all kinds. Poetry doesn't necessarily have to be deep thinking and soulful. It can be amusing, lively and can be added to both music and dance for performance. It can be added to animation, film, photography and drama for performance also. There are as many different shades of poetry as there are shades of music and we should embrace them all for, yes, both music and poetry are life-giving elements of this world.

I enjoy writing poetry far more than reading it. Although, having said that, there are forms of poetry that I do enjoy reading very much. Especially poetry written by eastern mystics, although I think I'm drawn as much to their spiritual insights as I am to their poetic style.

The poetry that I write is far less meaningful, and often quite lighthearted and usually inspired by the thoughts and feelings of other people. I take their idea and run with it. Often ending up converting it into song.

I've actually written quite a few songs. Just for myself and to share with others. I haven't actually published anything, and have never even tried.

Musically I perform my own songs, playing guitar and singing. But I'm nether a professional guitar player, nor a professional singer, so my performances are clearly at an amateur level. Although, I constantly try to improve my performance, I have no dreams of becoming a professional performer.

I just now wrote a song based on Poetry and Music inspired by the name of this forum, and I recorded it in mp3. But I have no way to post it since I cannot post urls yet.

I could post the lyrics, but they wouldn't be very impressive without the music. They don't make a very good stand-alone poem.

Still I Rise

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.

Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.

Poetry can be put to melodies of all kinds. Poetry doesn't inevitably have to be deep considering and soulful. It can be entertaining, alert and can be supplemented to both melodies and promenade for performance. It can be supplemented to animation, movie, taking photographs and drama for presentation also.

[Morpheus]

Poetry can accompany music or it can inspire both they both should be able to stand independently on their own accord. If they can't; one is faulty.

When I try to control smoking I am busy with music, novels or poems. they remain me too busy to smoke.
