Give Me An Idea
Give me a thoughtful image
That I can reveal in black and white,
Or with tints and shades of colors
Using pastels, ink, or graphite.
Even the most common thing
Can seem to be introspective
When rendered with clever shading
Or seen from a different perspective.
Find me a new metaphor,
Or a novel unused simile—
Something like alliteration
To bring to life my poetry.
Help me write some plays on words,
Or a sentimental nuance,
That would appeal to those lovebirds
That see the world through the lens of romance.
Inspire me with lyrics
And clever rhymes that tell a story.
Then hum a new chord progression
That would support a melody.
Add guitar riffs and a hook
That surprise like an epiphany.
Bind them together like a book:
A multi-genre fusion symphony.
(Chorus)
Give me an idea worthy of a drawing, poem, or song;
Something inspiring enough to push creativity along.
Something interesting enough to fire the synapses in my brain.
Something provocative enough to make all stop and look again.
