Monday InspirationsHere are 3 weekly ideas for song lyric, poems, instrumental titles, photos, video, short story or anything they inspire you to create.  Use the title if you like & make something!  It is yours for free.  A gift.  :-)

139.  A Car Went By
I was doing this, I was doing that
We were up here, We were down there
She was going out, He was coming in
And then…
A Car Went By

140.  Spark Me Baby!
Was reading a piece of erotica and the lover said to the lovee “Spark Me Baby!“  What a great title.  The author first used the phrase in reference to lighting a cigarette.  She used it a couple more times and at least one of them was in reference to a more sensual matter - something that comes on BEFORE lighting the cigarette.  :-) 

141.  Thanks For Throwing The Bird On The Roof
Here’s a title for a longer piece; longer than a haiku or a song lyric. 

We have had starlings nesting near the front porch several times.  One day I heard the sad sound of bird wings beating inside the front closet walls.  Later the dogs chased the baby starling who’d gotten into the enclosed porch.  After hours of trying to get food & water down it’s throat, Karl came home.  He took the bird outside & threw it on the roof as its parents watched.  I said = “Thanks For Throwing The Bird On The Roof.”

136.  Know What You Want Girl
Whachuwant (Whachuwant?)
Are You A Girl?
Do You Know What You Want?
I want you to get it but first-
Tell me what it is stirs you up!

137.  Good To Get Away
Bill & Hillary Clinton conceived their daughter Chelsea at the Chelsea hotel.  I read that’s why Bill wanted to name his girl = Chelsea (Give her good weather on her wedding day- eh!).  Because he “knew” that’s where she was conceived.  & I read Hillary said they’d of had more kids if they’d taken more vacations. :-)

Good To Get Away can mean a vacation, a three minute repose at your desk, an erotic fantasy.  I also read people who take a week long vacation every year live longer than those who don’t.  So take a deliberate = Good To Get Away = moment!!!

138.  Perfect Buzz
He’s coming…  He’s coming closer.  I can hear…  I can hear past the static…  Yes he’s coming, yes he’s close…  He was on a berry I just drank the berry… he is berry close… and I’m coming, coming up… to the Perfect Buzz

133.  Nightmare Dreamer
Yeasts and bacteria partying in the gut, emotions wailing in the mind, turbulence of the spirit all can create the Nightmare Dreamer.  This title works for a short story or a mood title for an instrumental.  I’ve read people with a lot of creativity frequently have “vivid” dreams.  Whoa!  Last night I had a couple doosies and this title popped up.  Here’s to a good night’s sleep+ Zzzzzzzzz…..

134.  Best of Everything
Fairy tales and myths are good for us.  It is actually healthy to believe in miracles.  It fuels our ability to hope.  When I say you deserve the Best of Everything, of course it is a metaphor.  But it is a true desire.  I do want you to have the Best of Everything.

135.  Comin’ Up!
A young lady who twists her words in the contemporary way gave me this title.  In talking about the lows her and her friends were experiencing, and then telling me how they were making choices that were changing the direction of their paths, she said - “We are Comin’ Up!”  Ah - so.  Comin’ Up!.  Gonna bang that brass knocker and snaggle the pot of gold.

130.  Tuck Me In (bed tonight)
Tuck Me In
with words of love and a promise of forever.  Tuck Me In bed tonight with floral wafts from opened windows.  Kiss my forehead with lips that know the moon.  Breathe for me and your sound will be my lullaby.

131.  Beautiful Exaggeration
He is the most Beautiful Exaggeration of my knight in shining armor.  He only exists on paper or in my mind; perhaps behind the long velvet curtains at the ruffles of the stage.  His face if both feminine and male and he looks young.  His body is hard like a man.  His voice sounds like a piano crooning through open kitchen windows on a hot summer night.  And his eyes are green if ever a cat has green eyes.

132.  You Can Be God Or Nothing
True Story.  My friend & I were talking.  Actually - he was talking at me.  I watched his lips intently as I decided if his sharing of information was entertaining or boring.  I said to him - “You Can Be God Or Nothing“  & he says - “Where did that come from?”  & I says = ”Well, I’m trying to decide if you are entertaining me or boring me & you know what, it all takes place in the mind.  It can go either way.  The mind is where a lot of life happens.  You Can Be God Or Nothing.  It’s up to my mind to decide.”  He said - “I don’t want to be God.”  :-)

127.  Big Time
1.  We’ll have a Big Time when the band begins to play.
2.  Get in the car babe.  I’m gonna’ take you to the Big Time.
3.  We’ve had a Big Time honey and now I gotta go.
4.  Put your sights on the Big Time - That’s how you learn to fly!
5.  She’s a Big Time mama really knows how to shake the floor+

128.  The Beer Hop
We’ve all heard of the Polish Polka, the Mambo, the Frog, the Swim, the Twist, the Tango, the various Waltzes, the Fox Trot, line dancing, the Margarita, the Funky Chicken, the Hokey Pokey, break dancing, and on and on = now let’s do The Beer Hop.  We drink 5 beers and then we hop around the room, all in a train line, holding onto the person in front of you via hands on their hips.  I once saw my husband pull a train on the dance floor in this fashion.  He even pulled the pretend whistle cord and made the Whooo Whooo sound of the engine.  He was onto The Beer Hop.  You be the judge :-)

129.  Listen To The Dandelions
“Dandelion - Taraxacum officinale (yellow) North America

Positive qualities:  Dynamic, effortless energy; lively activity balanced with inner ease

Patterns of imbalance:  Overly tense, especially in the musculature of the baody, overstriving and hard-driving

The soul needing Dandelion essence feels a natural intensity and love for life.  Such individuals are compulsive “doers” who enter with great zeal and zest into many activities.  Unfortunately, they can over-plan and over-form their lives beyond the natural capacity of the body to sustain such intensity.  Furthermore, such persons may become unable to experience more contained moments of reflective activity.  The unexpressed inner life of the soul and the harsh demands on the body collide to create exteme tension, especially in the musculature.  The Dandelion flower teaches these individuals how to listen more closely to emotional messages and bodily needs.  As tension is released the soul feels more inner ease and balance, allowing spiritual forces to flow through the body in a dynamic, effortless way.”  Excerpt from Flower Essence Repertory by Patricia Kaminski & Richard Katz

I love dandelions.  I make dandelion wine.  I’ve got a batch of spring berry wine fermenting of which I added a cup of dandelion petals to the brew.  The energy of the dandelion flower is to help balance the soul.  Listen To The Dandelions = are they calling you to touch their petals?

124.  Sudden Urge
Baby Baby Baby, do-do do-do, do do
I got a Sudden Urge to look at you
Baby Baby Baby, wha-wha wha-wha, wu wu
Come over here and do me like you do
Baby Baby Baby, do-do do-do, do do
I got a Sudden Urge to get on with you 

125.  DISPLAY
We are moving from the printed word to the image.  Much emphasis is on the image with video production now a home experience and YouTube a phenomena vehicle to share your images with the world.  You are on DISPLAY my love.  The world is your stage.

126.  PROFIT
Drop a nickel in the juke box and someone makes a PROFIT.  You can PROFIT from my love - my love, if you’re smart enough to “get it.”  Oh … such sweet PROFIT as the sun sets over water.  I shall PROFIT from the planting of these seeds, opening this window, a sent e-mail, baking bread, writing this line, touching your lips, closing the door.  Such PROFIT I can barely hold the mother lode.

121.  Confuse The Issue
She loves me, she loves me not.  When deciding whether or not she loves you, best not to Confuse The Issue with your own assumptions.  Go on the facts.  What does she do?  What does she do?

122.  A Stinky Me Day
This is a memoir title!  Being an avid gardener I like a good sweat.  You sports people and hard working types know what I mean.  Showering is a good thing after a hot workout.  For those times the shower gets delayed, I’m having A Stinky Me Day.

123.  That’ll Work
do you want it up, do you want it down, do you want it inside, do you want it outside, do you want it black, do you want it white, do you want a circle or a square, do you like it like this?  That’ll Work

118.  Keep Your Flirt (Under Control)
Keep Your Flirt Under Control
Where this love takes us, where we go
Let’s go together in double time
Keep your flirt babe
I’ll give you mine

119.  Hog A Space (in the parking lot)
Every now and then you find a song with part of the title in parenthesis.  I’ve written a couple like that.  Every song catalog needs at least one so today we’ve got a couple titles with parenthesis. 

Was in the parking lot and just love those new car people who take up 2 spaces.  Really.  Taking care of your car and avoiding those door dents is a noble quest.  And how about when you arrive at a free space just as another parker arrives+  Who get’s the space?  Whoever pulls in first!  Hog A Space in the parking lot

120.  Relative
One word titles are all the rage today.  Here’s one.  Relative.  One word titles are Relative to song fashion.  What does Relative mean?  A lot of definitions.  It’s all Relative is a common phrase.  That’s a good one.  What you write today is Relative to who you are, to where you are, to what you are doing and what you want to say.  Biographical. 

I want to be Relative to your life.  You are Relative to my joy.  We are Relative to the circle we run within.

115.  A Long Leash
Some guys need a longer leash than other guys.  My first husband was a homebody of sorts.  We spend a lot of time together.  Husband #2 spent a lot of time away from me & the house.  He needs A Long Leash to be happy.  A free spirited butterfly with tatoos. 

Give that guy A Long Leash and he’ll be comin’ home.  Choke up on his collar and girl he’s bound to roam. 

116.  My Brother Knows War or My Sister Knows War
Great line to introduce a memoir, poem, possibly a lyric about war.  My brother served in Viet Nam and really does know war.  My sister was in the army for a while and my other brother served during the Viet Nam era as well.  Perhaps you have a brother serving right now - or a sister.  God Bless our service personell. 

117.  Rogue Wave
Just saw on the news a Rogue Wave hit a cruise ship.  Never heard that expression before.  Rogue Wave.  It is a sensual title.  Makes the tongue move nicely. 

There’s a Rogue Wave comin’ tonight, I can feel it in my blood.
A Rogue Wave far away and headed for my door. 
or = Rogue Wave take this darkness to the ocean floor
Don’t need it anymore
Take it out the door 
To the ocean floor

112.  Celebrate Sunday Morning
We have a Sunday mornign special winter breakfast that consists of berries & whipped cream.  On Sunday morning we get out the frozen blueberries & strawberries that we picked ourselves or store bought & warm them up.  Then we whip up some whipping cream and sugar and sit down to Celebrate Sunday Morning.

113.  Energy For God
Just read a book that says energy is our most precious resource, not time.  Whichever is true I want to spend some of my Energy For God.  I like to think I’m doing good services.  Even planting my own garden & saving the fuel costs of transporting food for our table is a service.  How do you spend your energy?  Do you have Energy For God?

114.  A Time To Cherish
Cherish - to hold dear, feel or show love for+
As I pass through the stages and story of my life, I realize each memory will not be re-lived.  I have the present moment and some portion of the future.  Each day is a Time To Cherish.  Each special occassion is especially A Time To Cherish.  I pass though here once.
