Good morning, The Wonderfell Way.

Hi. O/

Glad you're here.

Let's see what the morning has to say.

Hope all's well.
Time for a spell.

Here we go.
On with our show...

Linguistics.

Lyrical linguistics.

Language for lullabies, daydreams, and inspirations.

Ghos+ music.

The syllabic sounds of syntax in your head as you read.

Hopefully you hear a crooner here with me.

There's a sort of magic that happens while we read.

Every word read silently sounds it's own note in the mind.

Every sentence is a musical phrase.

The old ways of metrical poetry show this.

Even free verse poetry has its own metric.

It's the voice of the poet.

The rhythm of the piece is a piece of the message.

All writing relies on meter and timing to shape its tone.

Think in terms of popular music to understand this.

A sad love song is a different experience with the beats per minute turned up to a Club Dance Floor Strobe Light High Level.

A novel's hero looking for decisive actions finds the best actions in long well-thought sentences, but performs those actions best in short staccato lines.

Every experience in Life has its own rhythm.

You're a storehouse of metrical beats.

You match the rhythms of your words to what you witness.

When you feel comfort your rhythm matches your experience.

Find experiences that best suit your favorite ways for yourself.

It doesn't matter how well rehearsed your Classical Ballroom Waltz is if you're standing in a Mosh Pit.

Find what you value and who values what you value, find your beat, dance your dance, and make wonderful this wonderful day.
