I decided I did not feel like doing the Tuesday tunes this week. Instead I have questions.
1. Why is it that writers of prose are expected to write daily… but poets are called prolific if they do?
2. Why do some people seem to be afraid to try to write poetry?
3. Why do so many people believe that writing prose is easier when there’re far more rules to prose than poetry?
4. which one do you want to write or read?
OK Here’s the Deal…Everyone knows everyone’s Nom de Plume these days, or in this case…pseudonym….but I usually keep her quiet and somewhat anonymous. it’s just easier for me. I have a lot of personal stuff to do and adding that seems like too much.
All pencil drawings as I have spent a lot of time with my sketchbook this week.
This is my work in progress list… and how I keep track of my word count.
This week I squirrelled a lot instead of writing. Some weeks are more art than words, and this is one of those. As a matter of fact I don’t want to deal with the book review tomorrow so I am planning on an art post instead.
So you found a new book?
Or maybe you just published one?
Did you find a new webcomic that you like?
A new book you have coming soon ?
A piece of Art that you just finished ?
Or a song you think everyone should hear?
No need for explanation…Just Share it.
You find a good deal that you think we should all see? Just share!
Or hey even a joke you think too fun not to share, Just share it.
Post links in the comments.
Occasionally I will too.

Lyrics –
verse
I keep swingin′ my hand through a swarm of bees ’cause I
I want honey on my table
I keep swingin′ my hand through a swarm of bees ’cause I
I want honey on my table
pre-chorus
But I never get it right
No, I never get it right
chorus
I keep swingin’ my hand through a swarm of bees
I can′t understand why they′re stingin’ me
But I′ll do what I want, I’ll do what I please
I′ll do it again ’til I′ve got what I need
I’ll rip and smash through the hornet’s nest
Do you understand I deserve the best?
And I′ll do what I want, I′ll do what I please
I’ll do it again ′til I got what I need
verse
I try to stick this pin through a butterfly ’cause I
I like all the pretty colors
But it just fell apart, so I flung it in the fire
To burn with all the others
pre-chorus
′Cause I never get it right
No, I never get it right
chorus
I keep swingin’ my hand through a swarm of bees
I can′t understand why they’re stingin’ me
But I′ll do what I want, I′ll do what I please
I’ll do it again ′til I got what I need
I’ll rip and smash through the hornet′s nest
Do you understand I deserve the best?
‘Til you do what I want, I′ll do what I please
I’ll do it again ’til I′ve got what I need
bridge
And this time, I′ll get it right
This time, I’ll get it right
It′s gonna be this time, I’ll get it right
God, let it be this time, I get it right
chorus
So I′m cuttin’ that branch off the cherry tree
Singin′ this will be my victory
Then I
See them comin’ after me
And they’re followin′ me across the sea
And now they′re stingin’ my friends and my family
And I
I don′t know why this is happening
verse
But I’ll do what I want, I′ll do what I please
I’ll do it again ′til I got what I need
outro
I keep swingin’ my hand through a swarm of bees ’cause I
I want honey on my table
My 2 cents –
to me this song talks about persistence to the point of ignorance. it’s a fantastic song, but I feel like it is largely misunderstood .
