Therefore, the material presented here makes up this exploration via chords both common and unique which one can utilize.

The Meeting
Too chilly, too much wind and
not enough light.
The fall bees are out like leaves
and there many among the trees.
The birds cry, the deer run.
Day breaks, seasons change,
people walk around.
There's much strangeness in the
air, strangeness is my fault.
We know one another, we know
each other.
We know how the cold can be.
In a couple of months the year
will end.

to obtain the parameters from a URL string.
In this example - the parameter value I am looking for are those that appear
after the name string
1) Call the script as such:
<script language="JavaScript">
filepath=GetParam("filepath");
</script>
2) The GetParam function is as such:
<script language="JavaScript">
function GetParam(name)
{
var start=location.search.indexOf("?"+name+"=");
if (start<0) start=location.search.indexOf("&"+name+"=");
if (start<0) return '';
start += name.length+2;
var end=location.search.indexOf("&",start)-1;
if (end<0) end=location.search.length;
var result=location.search.substring(start,end);
var result='';
for(var i=start;i<=end;i++)
{
var c=location.search.charAt(i);
result=result+(c=='+'?' ':c);
}
return unescape(result);
}
</script>
1) Call the script as such:

Tomorrows Lullaby
Tomorrows Lullaby
I believe in lullabies
I believe in things that fly
I believe in rainbows high
To explain it all would just not be good
Don’t leave me here
Calm all my fears
You play with my world
Then you set fire to my soul
You know my life inside out
Untold stories that should never get out
I don’t know why I opened my mouth
But I did and now I’m lost within
You read me inside out
I don’t know how
Like an open book
You know what others don’t
And if you believe in lullabies
And if you believe in things that fly
And if you believe in rainbows high
Then tomorrow will not be lost

Poetry
One of the more better poems - I wrote, describing
poetry:
POETRY
Poetry is a form of discourse whose instrument is
language.
Poetry is a way of communicating what's on one's mind. It
communicates
with a very unique style of precision. Poetry is the very
feelings,
reactions and attitudes that the poet feels. It uses
metaphors and
symbols' to express complex issues that the poet has in
the head.
Poetry teaches while it delights the reader who reads the
written
words. Poetry is obscure and sometimes difficult to read.
It is a form
of art which captures the poet's experiences. Poetry is
freedom of
expression, as anything goes. Poetry is a mysterious form
of language.
It is sometimes unclear and fuzzy, but yet it expresses
what's on the
poet's mind. Poetry goes into great depths of meaning,
meaning which
makes great sense to the poet. Poetry is enjoyment of
written
statements. It is the expanding of one's mind.
Poetry is beauty and wisdom of writing. Poetry is an
intention which
the poet expressed. Poetry is words which pass through
the poet's mind.
It is the creation of a art work. Poetry explores the
potentialities of
form.
Poetry is explicit statements of purpose. Poetry can be
rhyming and can
also be a record of an experience. Poetry is the
arrangement of certain
words in a pattern. It is verse that is beautifully read.
Poetry refers
to specific objects or concepts. Poetry has great
meaning. It is an
elaborate form of language.----->
Poetry is creating an image and then writing about it.
Poetry can be on
such beautiful matters as love or on ugly matters such as
destruction.
Poetry conveys a wide variety of topics. Poetry is the
tone in which
the poet feels. Tone is conveyed by sound, pitch and
pace. poetry is
expressions that the poet uses. Smiles, frowns, and
clenched teeth are
prime examples. Poetry is the irony in which the poem was
written.
Poetry can be in short or long form. Poetry is written in
various forms
and in various places. Poetry is writing that is truly
unique. There
can be no wrong or right way to write poetry. The
writings depend upon
the way the poet sees, views, and feels while writing.
Poetry can be
free flowing or rough. Poetry is entertainment of the
written word.
Poetry is artistic excellence and purity of the heart.
It is discovering how far the mind can be stretched.
Poetry is verse
that is written in a artistic style. Poetry when written
gives one
pleasure, pleasure with every word placed by the pen.
Poetry is old in
some instances and new in other instances. Poetry is
traditional and
abstract. Poetry is written by all ages. Poetry is a
great expanding
feeling. Poetry is what I personally like to do. Poetry is pure art.
