Let your imagination run free

Don't Be Afraid!

All people can write a little poem...or one line that helps everyone feel like settling in and creating something. We'd like something postiive and uplifting as well as welcoming and
comfortable without being too mushy. Hahaha! that's alot, isn't it? Well, let's get started,
lets' boogie, let's blow the roof off, let's have fun. What's your line? What's the tune you
whistle?

When I wake up in the morning I often get a song in my head and that song will keep coming back all day.
The kind of songs I whistle are catchy, infectious jingles and standards with a nice rhythm and beat.
They make you want to get up and dance or get up and sing.
I can't whistle much now due to not enough teeth but some examples were 'Singing the Blues'
and most of Roy Orbison and some Elvis' and other 50s and 60s stuff.; ▶ Reply to This

I am also having trouble thinking of lyrics for this theme song because I have writing adverts for new members to join us in my head and so these are more like a jingle than a song. In each of these adverts I repeat lines like 'Don't Let Disability Mean Inequality' and 'Join us and let your imagination run free' and 'Create, Construct, Concoct, Chat'

Will have to spend more time in the bath and see if any ideas for lyrics do get in my head over the coming weeks.

a sense of satisfaction. I bet you have some good stuff written down.

Nice one, Marie Antoinette
Let's twist her jewelled etiquette
and all eat cyberland cake

Expect more from where this came from......the junk yard that is my psyche.

And feel free to chuck it out. Am just playing really :>); ▶ Reply to This

The words you mention are good and to the point. I especially like Create, construct, concoct, chat.

I don't think I want it to sound like an advert though. Like the Cafe is a good place to hang around but not in a hard sell kind of way. Trouble is I am not sure what I do want at the moment! Will be glad to see what the others come up with. Richard Burton has said he is going to join us as well so that is good. He is a musician amongst many other creative things. I am gradually going around asking more members to join in. Like you said to Mandy we are not in a big hurry so can see how things develop as we go along now.
Thanks for your advice

Just joined this group. Not in most creative place right now but I do sometimes write poems or slogans or down right plain daft stuff.

Will endeavour to help out where needed and might come up with a few things for lyrics...but don't expect them to make much sense. lols

Bye for now; ▶ Reply to This

I was going to write a blog post about Creative Cafe being a new kind of cafe society. Different, I think, to the ladies wot lunch society...actually much different.

There is something classless about Creative Cafe and no pressures to do anything when you join either. Will keep having a think aobut this and at some point a bit of a ditty might come into my head. Although having taken a whole lorazepam to sleep last night....the creative grey cells might not waking up till about 3.00pm

think I need coffee and cake lols; ▶ Reply to This

Does that make any sense? No, probably not, but then does life or existence make any sense? Its all about some kind of creation we dont understand. But its wonderfull thinking about it all.

It's wonderful to be with here at Creatvive Cafe, with people like me who create as we play and express who we are as we live to the fullest every day. Just a little brainstorming!

Thanks for the inspiration!
