It's important to pay attention to *how* you write, not just *what* you write.

lyrics

When I have a thing I want to say,
it seems to me I have a choice:
to ramble on until you've run away
or focus my internal voice

Am I making sense, or am I screaming at the void?

Reading someone's writing
maps the mind behind the thoughts
Beware when fighting
understanding seems
to be the thing that they had sought

I want my words to leave you feeling good
To write with balance, and with poise
I care that what I say is understood
And not just making lots of noise

Make one point per sentence, or folk start to get annoyed

If I have a message, I need to make it clear
Otherwise there is no point in even being here
Nobody will profit if my writing is obtuse
And if I can't communicate then really, what's the use?

I must remember that the words I write
let others see inside my mind
They can show darkness, or reveal the light
I know which one I'd rather find

Unless you are a child, emojis should not be employed

Chris Harris Bristol, UK

I'm still trying to get the music I record to sound like the version I can hear in my head. To do this I've ended up playing every instrument I can get my hands on. These days, I'm closer to "That Sound" than I used to be, but the journey continues.
