FIIIIINNNNEEEEE, I'll tag him. Hey Dr. Matthews , do you have any tips on writing songs/poems?
Sorry guys...Im I trying to get back into the swing of things, but I am doing some serious school stuff... Anywho...yes, firstly, I would start off with writing descriptive poems about what you see, I always like to have some sort of rhyme in my poems, but if there's no rhyme, try to make sure there's rhythm. Which is really hard for me. If you enjoy doing that, and you get good at it, then you can start relating feelings to things you see, and, well, it'll just sort of mesh. Poetry is all about visualization in the words...so much so that you can feel it... like you feel the rain, or the bark on a tree. You can also just invent a story in your head...think of an imaginitive or historical event that you want too convey and then write your story down, and figure out how to change the structure and words to make it have rhythm and rhyme. Write about things you strongly connect with, because believe it or not, they will feel the distance through the writing. If you feel it, they'll feel it, if you don't feel it, they won't feel it.
Don't give up if you find it hard to come up with an idea...y yo will have those lulls...but one day...they the all just come back.
I think I can work with that.. Those sound like pretty good tips, I'll keep them in mind. Thank you! --especially for taking the time to write all that.
Is that a hint of green, peeking through the sod? It's been so long since I've seen such fresh color. The color brown is finally pierced, by hint of something else! What a blessing this is, it must have come from God. For that's a hint of green I see, the first in so long… The first hint of life I have seen, in such a stretch of time. After all these disasters have taken it all away, The trees, the birds, and the song of kids in the park. The bees, the grass, and all they left was the sod… But now I see this hint of green, peeking through the foul earth. And I think that maybe the earth is not so foul. After all, it can still put out one hint of green, If not for but a moment's time! I never saw the earth the way it used to be, But I can imagine now with this mere blade of green. This green that peeks up through the sod, Let's me see the possibility of life anew on this God forsaken ground. But maybe it's not so God forsaken yet. After all...there is a hint of life, of green! Amidst the dullness of all the brown.
This is a poem of life after an apocalypse, yall may not know it, but I just love apocalypse ideas and lore and fan stuff...so this is what I wrote along those lines.
--And he goes and gives us an example to support his advice.
It's beautiful! I like the vivid picture it puts into my head.

No problem! Also, I forgot to ask, were you wanting to put words to music? Music to words? Or just a poem with no music?

Ooh, a writers chat. I do a lot of writing, but a majority of it is lab reports, which is probably what you weren't thinking of.
Lab reports? Cool! You work at a lab? What kind of lab do you work at? I totally want to work at a lab one day, a chemistry lab in specific.
Yep. I work in a computer and electronics lab where we make circuits and program microprocessors. Most of my lab reports are about explaining what I made and what my electronic devices do. Chemistry labs are pretty fun, though I've only had a couple years of Chemistry classes. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

I guess not unless they're lab reports in story or song form.
I guess the most story-like aspect of my lab reports is the story of what went wrong. For my ping-pong ball launcher project, I short-circuited the batteries which ended up in smoke, so I described that in my lab report.

No problem! Also, I forgot to ask, were you wanting to put words to music? Music to words? Or just a poem with no music?
I was thinking of writing the words in a way that could be put to music, but it's not something I'd actually do, seeing how I'm no music producer.

Oh, no.. XD Those kinds of reports must be interesting to make every once in a while.

I find that it is often easier to put words to music, than music to words... I have crafted a few pieces of my own poems and thus put music so, but rarely...If you do write a poem and intend it to be a song, you must have a clear vision of chorus, lulls, and a bridge. Note that a bridge is not always necessary, however it is often included and ads great diversity to any piece. I play drums and piano, my brother plays guitar, and my sister plays violin, sometimes piano as well so we've dabbled in song production. Also, you can make a tune in your head, and write words to that tune signifying inflection as well as how long you hold out vowels and that will help you retain a certain idea of what you had in your head if you forget. I do that quite often as my memory is very short-term.

That all sounds very good to remember. Thanks. Have you played any of your works to music?

Awesome! Oh interesting! Cool, do you like design electronic devices or make predesigned ones? I hope so, but knowing me, I'll have changed my mind by then.

Yep. I also draw pictures for it too, but it's just wiring diagrams most of the time.
