As difficult of a time I have with rhyming, I quite loved this poem. I have one thing that I would personally fix, and I'm wondering if you like my idea as well. Instead of this: Quote:

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to come back and read this for you. Of all of your poetry that I have read, this is the one I can relate to the most. I love you to death, and I'm heartbroken that you were thinking of me while I was being so careless. Much Love (in a hearfelt letter-like post), Sugar |

Thank you for visiting my thread again and for your suggestion about the rhythm of "Garden." I appreciate you reading (half) and thinking of something you'd recommend altering...but I hope you know I like you just as much even if you don't visit the thread! Don't worry--I haven't been feeling too, too, too, too, too, too, *too* terribly neglected. Still, it is nice to hear your feedback, much as I have now come to rely on The Unfan to ground me in reality. He is a good, harsh critic...almost as good as you! And so I close, as always, with my brainfelt =@ affection, --VeggiePants (aka Erica)

"PATH" lyrics
Hello MB songwriting section perusers,
Rather than give an introduction before presenting my new song as I usually do, I will give my main commentary afterwards. I think of "Path" as a neo-Folk children's song that aims to reach adults as well as children (kind of like "Puff the Magic Dragon"). ------------------------------------------------------------ "Path" by Erica A little child sat down by her father. A question was troubling her: “If I were different, would he still love me?” So she asked to be sure. Daddy, Daddy, what if I were adopted? Would you still love me? Would it change your view? No, no, the dad assured her, it wouldn’t. I will always love you. Daddy, Daddy, I don’t know how to read yet. What if that's something I never learn to do? And he answered, oh don’t you worry, Honey. I will always love you. Daddy, Daddy, what if my hair were shorter and grew everywhere on me like beards grow on you? If I were hairy all over, would you love me? Yes, the dad smiled, I’d love you. What could be in her thoughts? What is this strange game she plays? Asking questions, answers sought. Who is she, who is she not? And the path goes on and on... Daddy, Daddy, what if I couldn’t pass any classes in a school you sent me to? If I weren’t so smart would you still love me? He nodded. Yes, I’d always love you. Daddy, Daddy, what if I had no hands and they became hooves cloven in two? If I couldn’t draw you pictures would you love me? Yes, he said, I'll always love you. Daddy, Daddy, what if my arms were legs and I had four of them instead of just two? I’m afraid maybe then you wouldn’t love me. He chuckled, I will always love you. What could be on her mind, taking piece by piece away? Add, subtract...what’s left behind? Who will stay? Who will you find? And the path goes on and on... Daddy, Daddy, what if I had a tail and my eyes were big and brown instead of light blue? Would you still love me as much as you do now? The dad laughed: I’ll always love you. Oh Daddy, Daddy, what if I knew no words? Would you still love me if I couldn’t talk with you? The dad replied, I’d still know that you feel, Sweetie. I would always love you. A little child sat by a father. Her fur was short and brown, her eyes brown, too. She had four legs and a loving disposition and when she looked up all she said was, “Moo.” Oh child, child, little child, oh child, little child, you got through. Oh child, child, loving child, I will always love you. Oh child, child, little child, oh child, little child, you got through. Oh child, child, loving child, I will always love you. -------------------------------------------------------------- And here's my commentary: As you see, I'm back to creating "vegangelica" (vegan songs that proselytize), but here I was trying to be sensitive to The Unfan's complaint that my songs are usually so stridently, obviously activist (which they are). In "Path" I was trying to be subtle. I wanted to leave the reader wondering for just a couple stanzas at least what the point of the song was going to be, which probably becomes obvious halfway through. The meaning of the song is the same as in "Dichotomy," the first one I posted in my thread: both songs try to get people to question the separation they perceive or imagine between "animals" and "humans." AwwSugar--I have not forgotten your comment (in your previous post)...and just in case you missed it, I explained my (not very funny) joke in a visitor message on your profile. Party on! <3 --Erica

Say, I don't think you've introduced yourself to the MusicBanter community yet, which you can do down in the Introductions section. Also, if you want to share your own work, you can start your own songwriting thread here in the songwriting section! Welcome to MB. --Erica

The comparison you're making here is blatantly stupid. In the given scenario regardless of what animal-like parts she has she'll always be the daughter, a direct offspring. This is totally different than the relationship we have between other animals. Paternal and maternal instincts use a different set of interests than the survivalist instincts we'd use to determine what animals should or shouldn't be eaten.

I understand that you're the Unfan, but hey, a little respect would be appreciated. I mean come on, you couldn't even find a better word for stupid? Take a while and look in the mirror, and then maybe we can talk. Regardless of whether or not you have a valid point in your post, the way you present it can mean a lot more than what you actually have to say. It took me a few readings to get to the point where i could actually see that you had some kind of logic behind your statement, until that point i just assumed you were a total jerk. Learn something. Sorry Vegangelica....i knew you wouldn't get mad at him so i decided to do it for you.
