New Album
Maybe you have heard about Governor Schwarzenegger’s (in)famous veto letter to the California State Assembly? You can google it for more information – “Schwarzenegger Veto Letter” will do.
The letter is claimed to contain a hidden message. It becomes quite obvious when you read the words formed by the first letter in each line of the two main paragraphs… yes?
Well, in a strange way this letter inspired the title for my next album. However, my album will spell something altogether more pleasant, of course. With the help of friends I have been working on creating short poems with three lines, in which the first line begins with a “P”, the second line starts with an “O” and the third line with another “P’. As in POP or Pop-Music.
Here are a few of these poems:
Pale moonlight reflected
on the water.
Poetry of the evening.Peonies
Of my Little Garden
Part of HeavenPausing to listen-
Overture in the moonlight
Perfect symphonyPetals from a red rose
On the ground, at dusk
Path to your housePetals float
On the water in the
Pale moonlight
And my current favorite is one that a friend sent to me, cutting down this poem I wrote:
Petals from a red rose
On the ground, at dusk
Path to your house
to a mere four words:
Petals
On the
Path
The advantage of something that short would be that it could actually serve as the title of the album. Any longer and I would have to abreviate the album title to P-O-P and that might get confusing, albeit interesting. If I use a longer poem, the poem would not feature in the title, and would only be found on the cover.
The album cover could be DM-Vision of the stepping stones of a path, with a few red rose petals strewn on the gray stone.
Maybe something like this, but with a few flower petals:
