So you are a guitartist writing songs. Like everyone else you start with love songs even though you are too young to know what love is all about. After the realisation that there are only three love songs in existance; I’ve found her, I’ve lost her, She doesn’t know I exist, you write about anything that moves and even things that don’t.
Battles, ships, squirrels, saints.
Then you start to feel constrained by the song format of three minutes so the logical move is to ditch the tune and head for those wild open fields beyond the trenches of music and go find some words to play with.

Inventagod Most folks believe in God. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that most folks believe in a god. Even the atheist believes in a god. His god is the primal cause of the Universe. It is a god without a name, face, personality or spirit but it fills the same void that is at the centre of us all. For those of us who do believe in a deity there is the question, “What is God like?” At least there should be that question but all too often it is the one thing we never a...

Bible 101 God makes everything perfect but delegates control of earth to Man. Man chooses to follow the Devil's lead and develops a taste for apple crumble. God takes a hands off approach and watches mankind go down the toilet. God is pissed off and sends a flood, the old Noah's ark thing. The whole sorry tale starts again so God gives Moses the Law to see if obeying a few rules will work. It doesn't. Man is rotten to the core and any just alien would simply zap us on sight. God comes in the ...

First Kick. Right, there it is. It’s much bigger than I had expected. I’ve seen the other kids do this and they make it look easy. I hitch up my shorts, wiggle my bum like a cat about to pounce, and start my run. Running is still a recently acquired skill and it takes a bit more concentration than expected. Consequently the timing of my first contact with the ball is a bit off and, instead of kicking it, I fall over it, momentarily lying across it in sky diving pose. The laws of physics dicta...

The Ideal Guitar For fifteen years I worked in guitar stores helping a seemingly endless stream of guitarists and wannabe rock stars to find their ideal guitar. Here are some tips you may find useful. Guitars fall into three main categories, acoustic, classical and electric. Acoustic guitars are strung with strings made of bronze and steel. They are used by folk musicians such as Simon and Garfunkel, Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan and modern artists like James Blunt. The various designs on sale ...

“Good evening viewers this is CNN reporting from the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem on this most auspicious occasion. Today, after a silence of some 2000 years the King of Kings is going to appear in public and address not just the nation but the entire world. I have with me Minister for the interior, Rueben Joseph.” “Mr Joseph this promises to be a truly amazing event, how did it come about?” “Good morning Mr Springer, this is certainly the most unusual event. The first we knew of it was a messa...

This captures the interest very well. The only problem might be that it is easy to forget that the conversation is a memory from times gone by. Perhaps leading into it with a specific example of her daily routine being interupted by the memory and a second reminder before mentioning the phone call. Hope this helps.
Considering the heroine knows risk of this spell I suggest including a sentence both exploring and dismissing alternative courses of action. The phrase, "The Novostone.... like a magical tuning fork." is attractive but a tuning fork gives you a fixed reference point so is it really an appropriate metaphor? Your final passage illustrates the sin and consequence of pride very well.
The piece forces the reader think about the meaning of each statement. Its meaning does however remain hidden. Perhaps combining it with the Sinner poem would make things more clear. "And lives by lies so true," is a great finish.
This is very interesting and flows quite well. Reading this in isolation from the rest of the book, I found two points confusing. First, the cardinal. My first thought was of a cleric and only later did I realise that it was a bird. According to the dictionary, it has an alternative name, the Redbird. Would it be better to use that name? Regarding the story line I was puzzled as to why the spirit of Standing Bear should let her wander into deep waters without warning her of the danger? Perhap...
