Ohhh Jerusalem, my favourite poem/song. Always chokes me a little. When we buried my friend Alan about a month back, that was one of the songs we sang, broke my heart. Buried a good socialist to a socialist anthem.
I always have a melody in my head when I write.....not necessarily a 'tune' but some kind of melody to make the words flow. Poetry or prose, there's always an underlying melody.
Sundae, that chorus you came up with was really nice. It reminded me of a song, but I'm damned if i can pin down which one. You should try your hand at song writing (if you haven't already).
