“Memories”

Memories

Memories are blades /

carving longing from the heart, /

leaving sorrow’s sting.

“Flames”

Flames

Inflame your being, /

swell your foot and make it sting. /

Gout is a mean thing.

Sting tells TED audience of the only way he could overcome writer’s block – The Globe and Mail

Sting tells TED audience of the only way he could overcome writer’s block – The Globe and Mail.

Sample:

Sting is a prolific songwriter, author of a decades-long career first with the Police and then on his own, filled with pop-chart toppers, platinum records and music industry trophies to show for it.

Then came the drought.

Sting explained at the TED Conference in Vancouver how he fought his way back to his art after a prolonged period of creative darkness, when the songs stopped coming. Hint: it took him back to his hometown, and ends where the neon lights are bright.
