The aim is to produce a reference to improve a poet's writing by using my own poetry as an example. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/jvstanley/1336535/ I was thinking about a homeless man I saw while visiting London about 8 years ago.

Been thrust yet again into dramatics. Boo! http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/jvstanley/946114/ Had a rough day and was thinking about perception and the importance of being mindful of your surroundings-literally and figuratively. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/jvstanley/944168/ Inspired by perpetual love, the yearning to cuddle, and the dream of growing old still holding on to him with everything I am. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/jvstanley/940962/ Everyone I know was having a bad day.

(he's now my fiance :D) doesn't know I wrote it for him either :p http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/jvstanley/796765/ I think the title sucks, but I'm rather proud of the actual lyrics. Not entirely sure how the music should sound...either up beat or mellow...let me know which would possibly sound better. Thanks http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/jvstanley/234483/ I've written poetry nearly all my life and figured it was about time I'd try my hand at songwriting so I spent an entire evening comming up with these lyrics.
