welcome

From the Margins of Notebooks” is a collection of poetry that i have been writing over the last year or so. with a notebook just about full of scribbled words in long skinny columns i had decided it was time to give them a permanent online home here.

written mostly in my car during lunch breaks- cigarette in one hand and pen in the other -i have decided to leave these as first draft versions. if i were to sit and go over and over them, i am pretty sure they would end up as never ending projects – that can always sound just a little bit better, a tad more smooth. so in order to keep my sanity i have decided not to do this, and simply post them as they come out of me.

i have put together a few of my favorites to get you started:

general :

introspection :

love and stuff:

inspired by my sister,
Angela DeLyser Morgan:

or you can browse through them ALL by clicking HERE

you’ll also find a whole category of unfinished work here, bits and pieces.

i hope that you enjoy them.

    Amanda, I stopped by to see you at Mannix and they didn’t know where you went. So I found this address on a card you gave me. I’m going to see your new work. Haven’t been on there in over a year I think. So anyway, I just had our tune recorded in a pure Disney tween version. If you want to hear it, go to http://www.braodjam.com/rogerkaye
    YOU NEED TO STAY IN TOUCH! This song has been pitched to artists in Nashville over 100 times through my agent in Nashville. They LOVE this tune and are working hard to find it a home. We now have it done for a different audience If it hits, you I need to know where to send the check! BTW the song hit in the top 25 songs in the United Kingdom Songwriting Contest. The UKSC has over 6000 entries each year, so top 25 is real good.
