2013: Lyrics & Poems
()
About this ebook
2013 was a year in which around half the total lyrical work was married to WildScreW musical melodies, effectively turning the poems into songs.
The WildScrew song “The Beginning Of The End”, which was developed from one of Thomas Wild’s guitar melodies, a so called ALPHA, was penned and professionally recorded on the studio CD which was released at the start of 2017. The guitar melody has haunted Thomas, so he claims, since he started to learn to play the guitar, aged 17.
The WildScreW ALPHAs “(Rock ‘n’ Roll) Revolution”, “Adulterous”, “Gold Digger” and “The 51st State (Of The U.S.A.) are, in my opinion at least, all useable ALPHAs and hopefully will one day also be recorded as part of a professional CD album. “Irreplaceable” and “Love Nor Money” were based on guitar melodies to which the order Thomas supplied the verse, refrain and bridge was altered. The guitar melodies to these ALPHAs made it to the recording studio and were produced as “Misery” and “Free Fall” respectively.

Having earned an upper-second-class BSc Honours Degree in Computing Science from Stafford University (the then Staffordshire Polytechnic), I worked for several English manufacturing companies before accepting an offer of work in Germany in 1991, where I have been living and working for several blue chip financial institutions based in Frankfurt am Main till this day. As a result of my career I wrote and self-published “Cobol: Optimised and Maintainable Application Programming” in 2003 and “JCL – STEP by STEP” in 2008. In 2012 I was asked to write lyrics for several rock band projects, an adventure which led to the role of singer/songwriter in WildScreW and the composition of several hundred lyrics, the majority of which are patiently waiting to be put to music or self-published.

Preface
History
My late, great-aunty Jean was an avid fan of literature, language and especially poetry. Nevertheless, despite her persistence, cajoling and seemingly endless off-by-heart recitals from her many favourite and famous bard’s literary masterpieces, and although I did possess an unhealthy interest and certain talent for English language and literature in school, I always considered my sister the more gifted poet and artist and myself more adroit in the (especially then new computer) sciences.
Sure, in my late school years and youth I’d occasionally pen a poem, compose a clerihew or write a rhyme, but always for specific purposes: love letters in the main but also a couple of songs for a my
schooldays band Guillotine
. But, as demands from career and life’s many other interests and distractions gained the upper hand, my literary efforts were restricted to computer program documentation. But there was always a book burning away in the back of my head and, after several aborted attempts at fiction, I decided around 1998 that I’d be best writing about something I know, which resulted in two self-published technical books in 2003 and 2008.
These tomes combined with (too) many years of unsuccessfully trying to master the German language, resulted in me falling heavily back in love with my native tongue. As essays are not my forte and technical reference books a labour of four or five years, I began writing poems and rhymes for my own pleasure and therapy.
