I enjoyed reading your poem very much, it is cleverly written and very well thought out, Writingfundimension. I especially liked the refrain. Smiling is contagious.

I admire your first, this can't have been an easy write. But to me it sounds as if it could be sung. Loved the artwork especially and the refrain. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Bev,
This is different from what I've seen you write before,
and I like it a lot! The poem has an edge to it, as well
as a sense of grace. i like the contrast and feel. This
is a thinker poem and one I enjoyed tonight. Thanks for
sharing.

Hi, Ray. Thanks so much for this gracious and supportive review. It is different for me, but I'm finding myself gravitating in a new direction with poetry and may try this again. You are most kind to let me know what you liked about the song/poem. That is always helpful. Heart Blessings, Bev
Comment from barkingdog
I really like your refrain and that it came from a smile in your rear-view mirror makes it even more special.It has a very hopeful positive energy with good tempo and rhyme. It stands as an excellent contrast to the beginning of song and compliments the end stanza that I love
.
You have several nice alliterations that work well in a song:
-dead dreams
-sunlight streamin' send
-father's fed
-wasn't wrong
-he hopes he
-send a sign
I love this line:
he hopes he finds the way
to the maker of the dance
and the holder of the key.
and this:
Send a sign
this trav'ler will heed.
Be it a note that's sung
or a whisper
at the bottom of a wind -
WOW--a whisper at the bottom of the wind. Beautiful, lyrical, gave me goose bumps.
Great song! and it's your first?

Thank you so very much, ellen. This is a terrific review that you have very thoughtfully put together. It helps so much when a reviewer takes so much time to let me know what works and what needs tweeking. You have put a big old smile on my face, today; and given me the courage to try this again! Heart Blessings, Bev

I think that is just fantastic. I love your inspiration (both the stranger and the scripture) and where you took it and kept it modern and relevant to our lives. Truly inspired work here.

Comment from Tom C. Adams
Okay Bev, so the music got to you as well. That is great. First off, the premise of this set of lyrics is extremely well concieved. After all, and as you indicated in your authors notes, the guy in your rear view mirror sent a happy-vibe your way. As an artist, you seized the moment. I like that.
The verse that contains this lyric is very special:
he hopes he finds the way
to the maker of the dance
and the holder of the key.
And for me at least, this one is spectacular:
"But in the countin' sheds
all that's hidden will be known."
But I need to tell you, that refrain is amazing. So on point, so in tune with the message. I love this in the key of F, with the power of the refrain set on the B-flat. Tonulak will correct me, but that is okay, he knows his stuff much better than I do!
Great lyric...first time?...wowser, TC!

Hi, Tom C. Your review means so much. I've gotten some good feedback, but yours is amazing. I'm going to have to get a book on writing lyrics, as suggested by one very well-meaning reviewer, and learn to rhyme a little better. But, all-in-all, I'm pretty happy with the results. This one got in my head starting with the refrain and kept on knocking, hehehe. Your insights are especially helpful because of your amazing knowledge about music. I think I've found the courage to try this again sometime thanks to you, my very kind friend. Warm regards, Bev

Once again, my friend Ted might respectfully disagree, but I have seen hundreds if not thousands of songs with "hinted" rhyme, even non-existing rhyme. If you wanted to study lyrics, look no further than Lieber and Stoller (it's gonna take an ocean, of calomine lotion"). Betcha if you read some of their lyrics: and they are geniuses, it would hit home!
Here is a musical HUG TC!

I have seen them, too, Tom C. Thanks for letting me know I wasn't off the wall here. And, you are always the man to go to for reference material. I'll call you tomnet - you da' man!! Hug back at ya...Bev

Comment from Pen&Ink
I'm definitely not an expert when it comes to song lyrics, but I do like the Biblical references in this piece. I'm sure everything would fit better for me if I knew the melody of the tune. I liked it though.
Favorite part:Send a sign
this trav'ler will know.
Be it a note that's sung
or a whisper
at the bottom of a wind -
long as I know it's real.

Hi, Ray. That's probably one of the reasons I don't do song lyrics, I know what I like but I don't even play an instrument. I only know music from the singer's perspective. So, you have made an excellent point, my friend. Given some of the difficulties for you, I really appreciate the generous rating. Kind regards, Bev
