Sometimes I like poetry to be mysterious, but I generally appreciate some context. I find it very fun to read a poem before and after I know anything about a poet's perspective, as I did with your work. It does depend on what you're looking to get from a poem, you're quite right. I like that a poem becomes a melding of the poet's intent and the interpretation of the reader, because this means something new is created each time a work is read.
I can see "Lost Faith" being lyrical. I hope you come up with a tune that fits someday! I consider lyrics to be a type of poetry, so feel free to post lyrics if you wish. It's great that you're writing songs. Do you play an instrument? Are you in a band? I agree that the same care should be taken with lyrics as with poems. I always appreciate good lyrics!
I'm always jealous of anyone who hasn't seen "Angel"! It was so much fun to watch the first time, although it can be pretty dark thematically. I think it's great you plan on watching it. Hopefully it will make some kind of sense watching just an episode or two. The plot can be a bit hard to follow if you jump in randomly, but it could still be interesting. Don't worry if you don't get around to watching it, or if you hate it. You won't hurt my feeling or anything, I just thought you might like it! :)
I play the guitar, I started learning 2 years ago when I realised I wanted to try write my own music, I had had vocal training at school but one need some for of backing as a single vocalist. :P I'm not in a band, it's nust me and my songs haha It's very much just a hobby at the moment, a means to express myself on the occasion I feel I have something to say.
I used to watch Buffy and then a little bit of Angel after that many years back when it was still on TV. I remember enjoying it but I never really sat and watched them all in order, just episodes here and there when I caught them on tv.
I also play guitar and write songs. I learned guitar because I had been writing poems, and some of them were lyrical, so I wanted to be able to actually set them to music. It's a hobby for me as well both because I'm not very good at guitar and because I can be painfully shy. Nevertheless, learning and playing guitar has been a tremendously enjoyable and enriching experience. There is nothing quite like writing music. :)
