[owleye]

[Celebriän]

im trying to explain where the lyrics we wrote music to came from..... if i assume you have an english edition of the Gift its pg 311

[owleye]

i would look but at this moment i cant be bothered

[Celebriän]

fine o lazy one i'll write it for you!!!!!!

Grows a lily on the briar
grows a briar on the wave
tripled tongued its voice of fire
Edil-Amarandh will save

True and false the cunning flame
burning in the darkest night
false and true the secret name
quickened in the womb of light

where the briar on the foam?
doth the lily stemless stand?
who will bring the Singing home?
where the harp? and whose the hand?

so pretty
alison how do you come up with lyrics? i suppose it comes from being a poet...

[owleye]

yeah that is really nice

A lovely thougth Celebrtain and Alasse - I do like that lyric. I think I got the ballad pattern from some ancient Welsh lyric, I can't quite remember - sometimes I just take an old form and write something new to it. For The Crow I wrote a ghazal, a beautiful kind of Persian poem, and a rubaiyatt, which is another Persian form of quatrains. It's great fun.

wow! we had to do that sort of thing with haiku at primary school but i'm pretty certain mine was rubbish!!!!!!!

Any ideas how to record music and post it here?

[owleye]

are your other poems like that?
