Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the ‘Land of Song and Literature’ that is Wales, what could be more natural than writing music and poetry? So this book is a collection of song lyrics and limericks. It is primarily a light-hearted look at the worlds of song writing and poetry. But it is much more than that. It is also a patchwork quilt of interviews, autobiography and mythology. Each lyric and set of limericks is preceded by prose, related (sometimes tenuously) to the reason for writing the verse. The lyrics were not written as poems, they are verses divorced from their musical settings. Are song lyrics poetry? This is a theme which runs through the book. Nine authors and songwriters were asked this question. The list of those who contributed is like a ‘Who’s Who’ of Welsh music and poetry. Dannie Abse, Steve Balsamo, Peter Finch, Ron Griffiths, Paul Henry, Gwyneth Lewis, Robert Minhinnick, Mal Pope and solitary Scot Al Stewart. Their answers to this and other questions make fascinating reading. There is also a previously unpublished short poem from Robert Minhinnick and a two line verse from Paul Henry. What was their conclusion? Are song lyrics the same as poetry? For the answers be sure to read the entertaining ‘Lyrics and Limericks’. Book reviews online: PublishedBestsellers website.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to Write Lyrical Limericks & Poems That Pay Has anyone ever made verse pay during their lifetime? Yes. Robert William Service - The Poet of the Yukon. "I may be the only living writer to have made more than $1,000,000 out of writing verse." That quote is from the Scots/Canadian writer of "The Shooting of Dan McGrew" and many other stirring verses. His was the poetry of the people and they bought it in droves. If your main ambition as a verse writer is to make money (rather than seeking literary fame) take a leaf from Robert's book - learn to write for regular folk. Words and rhythms that stir emotion, subjects that tug at the heart strings - "make 'em laugh, make 'em cry" you are an entertainer... a weaver of magic moments... a writer to be remembered, recited and quoted. It is my hope that some readers of this book will one day be able to make the above claim for yourself. Whatever your outcome, you will have a lot of fun trying. The pleasure of creative writing can be a reward in itself but if you want a wider audience it pays to know the techniques and tools of the trade. Master the art of poetry from a book crammed with tips and tricks, and masses of examples. Suitable for beginners and children but anyone can benefit. Learn or just read for fun. Have a look inside - it could be for you. There was a young man, a good poet, Was given a field so he'd sow it. His first thought was, "Darn, I'd rather weave yarn, I'm destined to write - I just know it!"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from 700 Limerick Lyrics: A Collection of Choice Humorous Versifications A writer in a western paper notes that this is the day of the limerick, and says of this popular form of nonsense verse that it possesses a jingling rhythm which haunts the memory long after the measured sonorousness of an epic or the lilting melody of a lyric have departed. The writer is evidently, under the delusion that all nonsense verses are limericks. Now, we can't give a dictionary definition of a limerick, for the reason that the word, for some unaccountable reason, isn't given; but at least we know one when we see one.
