Good Lyrics make Great Poetry 14+

📓 An eclectic collection of poems,songs, and musical theater.In a recent column, Ms. Amy Dickinson stated, "When you sing, you arecommunicating poetry that was so beautiful that a composer decided to setit to music."American Literary Press Editor: "In this eclectic collection of poems,songs, and musical theater, Murphy pens both humorous and sensitivewords that are filled with colorful descriptions, double entendres, and fittingSouthern drawls. The author combines a lyrical feel for cadence,rhythm, and rhyme with a strong command of the English language todeliver some poignant and witty explorations of the human psyche.From macabre descriptions to heartfelt sentiments, Murphy bares anemphatic soul. His forays into musical theater are noteworthy, but particularlyexceptional is "Luke and Sarah," which, in telling the story of twofeuding mountain clans, dichotomizes the prim and the salacious, the virtuousand vulgar. It would be wonderful to see this work performed onstage as it is a sort of backwoods "West Side Story." The words to "Member"and "Truck Stop" are also lyrics that can be independently enjoyed for theirpurely poetical properties."
