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. :-)

171.  That’s Just Icing
And I saw a hummingbird today.  Today has been marvelous.  I am happy and keen.  The hummingbird in her tiny motor sounding glory is marvelous too.  That’s Just Icing to see and hear the nectar thirsty hummingbird.  Whenever I see the hummingbird in my garden I say aloud - ”Today is a good day,” and smile.  :-)

172.  CULMINATION
This is an intellectual title as one or two of you reading this won’t know what that word means.  In writing song lyrics, your audience has 1 or 2 seconds to get an image in their mind from your words/lyric.  Best not to use abstract intellectual words when you can use nouns.

When I say “My red hat” you get an immediate image.  When I say “CULMINATION of heartbreak” you have to THINK about it, like poetry, and it’s best to use such words for writing projects other than song lyric.

This is a good instrumental title as CULMINATION = Reaching of the highest or lowest altitude or point.  The highest point, zenith; climax. (Webster).  A great definition of jazz riffs, classical tangents and music in general.

173.  PLUS ONE
What a positive title = PLUS ONE suggests expansion, addition, more.  It even suggests intimacy.  PLUS ONE - one person - the lucky guy or - the lucky gal - one coin - addition, one color, pink,  one chord one movement BDE - your art - for all to see.  Me + 1 = 2.
Bop be-do, Bop be-do, Bop bedo one
Bop be-do, Bop be-do, Bop bedo one


PLUS ONE PLUS ONE PLUS ONE

159.  Rogue Is Vogue
With the great success of Sarah Palin’s book titled  Going Rogue, the word “rogue” is enjoying some popularity.  Rogue, which is defined by Webster as :


1.  A wandering beggar or tramp; vagabond 2.  a rascal; scoundrel 3. a fun-loving, mischievous person 4. an elephant or other animal that wanders apart from the herd and is fierce and wild 5. an individual varying markedly from the standard, esp. an inferior one- 
can certainly mean several different things.  So the title Rogue Is Vogue, which can be proven in an essary - is a great title for a writing piece or an instrumental. 

160.  Splashing Water or Sound of Splashing Water
We’ve got a small plastic kid’s pool for the dogs and me to cool off in the hot summer heat.  Princess Ada likes to dig in the pool.  I love to watch her.  It’s a machine like rhythm similiar to digging a hole only there’s splashing water.
The Sound of Splashing Water in summer on a hot day is the sound of relief, of fun, of coolness.

161.  The Best I Can Hope for with you =
           is the lonely you leave me
           don’t turn me blue+

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.

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~
