master of gibberish lines of metaphor
acclaim and awards from the poetry corp
coffee house pied piper
study and decipher
dazzle with brilliance or baffle galore...

As an artist creates with brush,
So a poet creates with pen.

As a songwriter creates with note,
So a musician creates with sound.

No idle waste of time
But creation all around....

Farrokh Bulsara a.k.a. Freddie Mercury
British singer, songwriter known universally
Confirmed he had AIDS and then died the next day
His music through Queen still rocks us all the way...

I heard
"Till death does us apart"
in a song,
And then, in a newspaper I read 
the songwriter himself
did not wait that long,
I guess
after a while he got the point
that he was wrong...

self-confident, acrobatic, marvelous songwriter and singer
lovely wife and mother of two,
spreading joy and excitement wherever she tours
few accomplish what she has
fabulous, marvelous, singer we call Pink...

Songwriter 


The songwriter gained great wealth and fame.
Until the songs no longer came.
The price paid for wealth and fame is never known.
Until the moment it comes due.
At his moment, he knew.
His price was suicide....

A writer, singer and songwriter,
A crooner, a teller of tales,
A dream maker, a soul shaker and captivator,
Hoping in verse and prose he prevails.

If I could start back over fresh,
a songwriter I’d be

The words inside the music,
in joyful harmony

If I could greet the dawn again,
I’d pick up the guitar

And strum my way into the night
—toward that distant star

(Dreamsleep: March, 2020)...

I am Uwe

I would have thought

but you tell me

that's just my name

you tell me

I am a poet

I am a musician

I am a philosopher

I am a theologen

I am a songwriter

I am a father

a husband

at times an idiot

a bastard, prick

and all sorts of other things

but I say

I am all of those

plus some

combined, they make me

who I am

and

I am Uwe...

This poem made me feel powerful and less lonely
Gave me permission to drag out my own macabre feelings
I found myself flying toward brilliance, enjoying “bat on the wing”
In a way, I felt this was written for me exclusively
A secret pact between me and the songwriter
“no moonlight for me’ is the way I feel on my darkest day
It is wonderful to know I am no longer alone....

Remember the 1967 hit "Ode to Billy Joe"?
Number one on the music charts is where it would go.
It was recorded by country-western singer Bobbie Gentry.
This singer-songwriter reached world-wide popularity.
Something she mentions in the song remains a mystery.
Bobbie, when you and Billy Joe were up on Choctaw Ridge,
what exactly did you throw off the Tallahatchie Bridge?

A writer , a poet can be a model as well..
If she has determination and love  too..
A poet or songwriter can't succeed in beauty pageant ..
Yeah I am thankful there is no such a rule..
A poet can decorate beauty pageant with physical style and beautiful words. .
And that combination remains forever...
If a poet gets company of inspiring persons like you than she she can do even in beauty glamour....

Our granddaughter loves cupcakes.
Someday, she wants to run a cupcake business.
Someday, she wants to be a beautician.
Someday, she wants to specialize in makeup.
Someday, she wants to be a singer.
Someday, she wants to be a songwriter.
Someday, she wants to go to college.

I’m voting for number one 
and number seven.
I love cupcakes.
If she goes to college, 
her cupcake business might succeed.

You go, girl!...

one man
singing about the ups and downs of his life
singing about reality of everyday life
the pain he feels, 
the love he's lost,
the life he lives now,
one man on a mission 
living his dream
while moving on in life
the words -they move me
they make me write about my own life
the good,
the bad,
all the mistakes i've made
all the decisions i've dealt with
one  man
i would give anything to meet

what songwriter orwriters inspire you?

He sat
with fingers on the keys, 
and head hanging low,
Waiting 
for the music to flow.

The hits and awards
when his life had been brighter 
where that of a talented songwriter

He took a deep breath
and let it out slow
Waiting 
for the music to flow

But the music is gone,
his talent grown cold
The drugs and alcohol 
have taken their toll.

His fingers on the keys
his head hung low
He sat 
waiting 
for the music to flow....

Indian Hills, Colorado produced a fine singer-songwriter.
He wrote many pieces of rock and country that were lighter.
His one big hit song that was heard from coast to coast
was the 1979 great "Just When I Needed You Most".
Unfortunately, in 2004, this man passed away.
His cremated earthly remains are orbiting in space today.

I thank wikipedia.org online encyclopedia for valuable information I obtained to write this poem.
