Here's a bit of math for you...

Poetry + rhythm + music = lyrics.

It makes sense, doesn't it?

You know what's been happening to me lately?
I've been writing poetry...
A LOT of poetry.
It makes writing lyrics a lot easier... and harder sometimes.
But when you add music, or a beat to the poem, they sound like lyrics.
It pretty cool, if I do say so myself.

Here's a snippet of my poetry. Feel free to critique.

When stars shooting above my head,
Flying as if they are trying to run away,
Do I dream?
Do I just stay,
And keep still?
Dreaming that the wish will come true,
Once you've asked for it,
Do you think it will come true?


Okay, so I can do WAY better.... but I just came up with this at the top of my head.
