TURN A POEM INTO A SONG
๐ค๐ธ THE RULES ๐ธ๐ค
1. START WITH A POEM
Something youโve already writtenโฆ or write something now.
Donโt worry about structure.
Youโre simply verbalizing an idea.
This becomes your ANCHORโฆ and later, your CHORUS ๐ถโ๏ธ
2. BUILD 3 VERSES (THE THREATS)
๐ฅ VERSE 1: BETRAYAL
๐ฅ VERSE 2: LOSS / PAIN
๐ฅ VERSE 3: CONFUSION
3. CREATE A CHORUS (ANCHOR) โ๏ธ๐ถ
Pull from your anchor idea.
Repeat it. Strengthen it.
4. RAISE THE STAKES ๐ฅ
Each verse gets heavier.
Push the emotion deeper.
5. LEAVE THE END OPEN ๐ค
No perfect resolution.
Let the listener FEEL and DECIDE.

๐ค๐ธ๐ถ๐ฅ EXAMPLE SONG ๐ฅ๐ถ๐ธ๐ค
๐ฅ VERSE 1: BETRAYAL
Trusted mirrors that cracked in pain
Every reflection a piece of my shame
๐ฅ VERSE 2: LOSS / PAIN
Fell to the floor, life out the door
Shattered in pieces, blood on the floor
๐ฅ VERSE 3: CONFUSION
I donโt recognize who I am anymore
Am I the pieces or the light of the show
โ๏ธ CHORUS (ANCHOR) ๐ถ
Iโm a disco ball, broken as I shine ๐ถ
Every shattered piece catching all my light
Put me back together watch me come alive
I am never lostโฆ scattered in the night ๐ถ
๐ค๐ธ DROP YOUR SONG BELOW ๐ธ๐ค
๐ถ READ OTHERS
๐ฅ SHOW LOVE
Please donโt worry about perfection.
