My Poem Titles

My poem titles

Your love light shines
Dancing in the moonlight
Tender is the night
When you know it's right

Happiness is found
My heart has found a home
By now you should know
The power of love

When you know it's right
There are no words
When you close your eyes
I'll always be there

Love goes on forever
Just keep holding on
By now you should know
You're worthy of love

When you close your eyes
The sun will rise again
Tender is the night
I'll always be there

Happiness is found
When you know it's right
The rest of my life
Love goes on forever

Just keep holding on
The sun will rise again
Love goes on forever
I'll always be there

I can't believe you're here
There are no words
I think it must be love
Happiness is found!

Maria Williams Date: 6/14/2017 11:08:00 AM This would have been a huge task to write all those titles into a Lyric which masterfully makes sense and all fits together. Wow! - you must know a lot of songs - but of course you are a song writer - but all the same a difficult task. I wouldn't have attempted it...Maria Login to Reply John Hamilton Date: 6/14/2017 12:15:00 PM Thanks Maria, yeah it was an enormous task, just selecting which lyrics to use, but the romantic themes seems to always stand out too me. Thanks for the nice compliment!

Daniel Turner Date: 6/10/2017 6:37:00 PM Smartly done, John. Reads like a winner. Great titles:) There are a lot of people who will argue, that a great title is what sells the poem. Login to Reply John Hamilton Date: 6/10/2017 8:23:00 PM Yeah Danny I always try to have a great title, at least grab the attention, the challenge is bringing up the poem to measure up to the title, thanks for the visit, take care!

Tim Smith Date: 6/10/2017 5:23:00 PM You scored big with titles John...it pays to have a good title Login to Reply John Hamilton Date: 6/10/2017 5:26:00 PM Yeah if only the poem measures up to the title that's the trick, thanks for the visit Tim, hope you're feeling better!
