Subject: RE: Need ideas for prosody workshop
Hi Sharon,
At a songwriters group I went to recently, one young lady sang a song that was so disjointed that we all were asking just what it meant.
She led off with a detailed explanation of the song. I suggested that she write the song again but this time write what she had just said.
And beware of Jake Thackeray; he was a great wordsmith but he would break sayings across line endings for effect.
eg. On again, on again continues...
It is part of the proof of God's existence a
posteriori also I love breasts and arms and ankles elbows knees...
Probably not quite what you are intending to teach.
