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.

Receive Every Day

Receive every day as a resurrection from death, as a new enjoyment of life; meet every rising sun with such sentiments of God’s goodness, as if you had seen it, and all things, new - created upon your account: and under the sense of so great a blessing.

–William Law

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.
