I love my Real Band
It makes composing easy
Just add ideas
The Real Tracks are great
I barely play anymore
Is that a good thing?
It is when I sing
That's why I have The Bluebells
For my B G V

The Bluebells are great
You're lucky they like
All of your songs
All pretty things
Working together
In harmony
The Bluebells are great
You're lucky they don't
Charge a fee.
EDIT - Just read up on the 5-7-5 rule, but too lazy to change it!

With all you intellectuals and songwriters out there, I hoped this would catch your fancy. Come on--warm up some sake, drag out that shamisen, and haiku! Curved air meets eardrums Vibrations and poetry Real Band makes music

What may be stifling participation is the fact that Haiku has rules on how it has to be done. http://www.wikihow.com/Write-a-Haiku-PoemSo job one of a Haiku listener or reader is to determine if the poem meets the criteria or “rules” laid out beforehand. No doubt it’s an acquired taste. If I’d been given a list of “rules” about writing a song, then I’d never have written my first one. Ditto for playing an instrument. “Rules” hinder creativity. I don’t like “rules”. Never have, … never will. Just my 2 cents, and that about all it’s worth. “Coun-ting syll-a-bles just sucks”. (Meets the 7 syllable rule.)

I’m not be-ing cruel For say-ing I don’t like rules I still think it sucks ……………………………. So I followed the 5-7-5 rules. It didn’t give me room for creativity. I don’t understand the appeal, but that’s okay. If you like it, go for it.

majestic soaring chords
rippling smooth calm water
the box band quivers and sings
landing on a soothing sixth
then resolving with a sigh
before the last string decays
Life ebbs then flows
The light fades as blossoms fall
in pools of still silver water
No more to touch
the breeze caresses
While the tension eases

Musta been an Irianian cow.
It seems to be building, Iran the threat only a certain American political party can deal with.
The other will offer the beggars free health care for desert cows.
I sure wish there were no elections.
I just vote for Band in a Box to take top prize.
