Talented poet/lyricist seeking musicians

Hola, I’m a poet/lyricist of enormous ambition seeking musicians to transmute my words into classic songs. As just one index of my talent, a poem of mine won $500 in an international Writers Digest contest. 

I currently write lyrics in English, but based on my dedicated studies, I foresee potential lyrics in Spanish and French; who knows, possibly Portuguese, since I love Brazilian music. 

Here’s a sample (English) lyric, to spark your interest: 

    I Could Make Love to the Moon Right Now 
            (For Virginia Cody, 1955-2019) 

    In some intermezzo 
    Kind gods put between 
    A wife I loved 
    And what hell may come, 
    I lounge on my townhouse patio, 
    Slowly sipping my rum. 

    The time, so it seems, 
    Is a young day in June, 
    And the evening, 
    Through half-interrupting trees, 
    Has had the great kindness 
    To spoon me the moon. 

    I’m near as turned on as small glimpses allow: 
    Yes, I could make love to the moon right now. 

    This lunar strip-tease 
    Makes me reminisce. 
    It’s altered my mood 
    But will never change this: 
    My wife remains dwelling 
    Where no lovers kiss. 

    My heart’s throb just seems reawakened somehow: 
    Yes, I could make love to the moon right now. 

Eagerly awaiting your response, 

Patrick Walker

What can I say? I'm a diva. But I'm pretty convinced I have the talent to justify it. People who don't even try to produce new, lasting art don't have a clue how much belief in one's talent--often anguished, doubtful belief--it takes. Normal people routinely blast ego. But the message... 0 0

By the way, I'm presenting my works in open readings at Nomadas on 7/25 and Idiomart on 7/26. PLEASE come to heckle; it will only start to establish me as a Cuenca legend, OR stay home. It will only establish what COWARDS lacking in real conviction you are. I've got... Read more 0 0

Such rationality and conviction in defending your opinions! I'm inclined to say "Whatever" is the last resort of scoundrels. Of course scoundrels--who attack without any sense of responsibility dedicated artists who throw their heart and soul into their work--feel no sense of honor to reply! Love to see your (nonexistent)... 0 0

Your poem lacks originality of thought or expression. This isn't an opinion, it is a fact. 0 0

Glad you're so smug to think your unsolicited, evidence-free opinions amount to facts. Next! 0 0

you put an advert on here with an example of your 'art' so it was solicited 0 0

Isn't Gringo Post all about averts? Normally, if people aren't interested in the product, they just say nothing. Guess it proves the product I offer is VASTLY more important! 0 0

Dear readers, I fully grasp the autoerotic gratification of expressing one's unsolicited opinion, and (when inebriated) I'm liable to this failing myself. But as an artist who feels he has viable new art (by far the most difficult kind!) to offer, I've risked baring my heart and soul ONLY to... Read more 0 0

There are very talented musicians here, but this poem makes me feel icky. 0 0

Don't know why folks who don't get genuinely new art have to express their ignorance via abuse. Envy? Next! 0 0
Peter Grant
you are definitely more on the ambitious side than the talented ... lol 0 0
Patrick_walker
The inherently talented ARE ambitious. Again, like everyone else here, you offer an assertion without evidence. Next! By the way, the increasing number of comments here is evidence I'm talented enough to provoke comments--to get under people's skin. Na na no na na! 0 0
