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.
