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.  :-)

88.  Fat Dog
After reading an advertisement in a magazing about a drug you can buy to give your overweight dog so it will lose weight, my dog started looking fat. :-)  He doesn’t look fat when he’s playing.  But when he begs for my food he looks fat.  Fat Dog.

89.  CHECKLIST
The sound of a hard K gives a word power.  I am reminded of the main character in the novel/movie The Bridges of Madison County - Robert Kincaid.  That name is pronouned with vocal force - 2 hard Ks - Kincaid.

So CHECKLIST makes a great title and is easily pronounced.  I’ve got a checklist for you baby.  One - you’re beautiful, two - you give me chills and thrills and three - you’re all I see tonight, you top my checklist.

90.  Noticeably Quiet
A poetic singer-songwriter lyric title or can be a title for an instrumental piece or a piece of art/photoography/video.  Noticeably Quiet shows how an object can have impact and at the same time be subtle.  A huge redwood tree can be noticeably quiet.  So can a mountain, so can a snowflake, so can a lover sitting across the bed as he puts his shoes on.

19.  Wind Down Time - Friday is my favorite day/night to kick back and turn the knob up a notch, open a bottle of beer and dance.  Friday nights are for making noise - moreso for me than Saturday nights.  Maybe that’s because I used to have 1 1/2 day hangovers and needed the extra recovery time.  :-)  I’m tamer these days, but still enjoy a good Friday howl and know that Wind Down Time - is a necessary practice for sanity.  Wind Down Time,,, come on now stepping up and stepping out.

20.  Make Friends With The Butcher or The Butcher’s Bone
Make friends with the butcher
I tell you why
He’s got the rump and he’s got the hind
He’ll sell you some t-bone
He’ll sell you some prime
Make friends with the butcher
steak burgers ribs & shishkabob time

Moved to a new town.  Met a new butcher.  Asked for a dog bone.  He had some in the freezer and got me one.  He wrote on the beef soup bone wrapper = Dog Bone = and put it into my shopping cart.  I really wanted a fresh bone, but felt the occassion of our first meeting should be one of my gracious acceptance of the butcher’s bone.  I said “Thank You” and smiled.

21.  Romantic Exaggeration or Big Romance
I need big romance right here in the palm of my hand.
Give me big romance right here in the palm of my hand.
Where is the man with big romance and poetry and purple irises and golden ribbons?
He is my romantic exaggeration, throws me to the ground in a field of grass and devours
my lips.  A romantic exaggeration = now there’s a thought…gets you going…>

13.  Menopause Relapse - This goes into Adult Contemporary about a woman who thinks she is grown up but suffers a menopause relapse and makes adolescent choices that reek havoc on the world.
14.  When Dreams Get Ugly - The other morning I woke & told K. - “Wow, I was just dreaming my dead mother was chopping off the sunflower heads with a nail file and the devil was collecting them and laughing hideously as he ate the seeds and spit the shells at me.”  Well, it wasn’t quite like that but then I said “I’d rather be in this world than that world” and I got up.

15.  3 Forevers - A special love gave me this one.  She said it will take - 3 Forevers - She used it as a measure of time.  I wrote her a poem and titled it 3 Forevers.  You’ll be my friend for - 3 Forevers.  I love you BRR~

7.  Romance Me - Run through the field picking wild daisies.  Come to me with a ribbon and a flower.  Once you kiss my lips, write a love poem.

8.  Don’t Bite My Leg Dawg - Create your own words like - dawg.  Not sure Webster has that one yet and I’m not sure what it means.  I am literally referring to the canine dog when I say this.  My dog Ada came to us about 5 months old and would bite our calves as we walked past her.  I told her “Don’t bite my leg dog,” and liked that as a title referring to this dog and all the dawgs the word dawg refers to.  I’m certain it works both ways.  :-)

9.  Sninny Dip Dippin’ - My husband said he wanted to buy a pool.  I said, “It’s like this.  I’ll swim naked in the pool but won’t lift a finger to keep it clean.  It’s your baby.”  We bought the pool.  I swam naked and he cleaned.  Happy ending.  Ever skinny dip?  While vacationing in Canada we crawled over a fence one night to swim naked in a motel pool.  Happy ending.
