This is a question I ask myself often. I’ve decided that my rule of thumb is three verses, anything more than that, are just too long.
One of the things that makes a verse too long is that it feels like you haven’t been able to get through it all. In other words, a verse that makes you think, “wow, this is getting so long.
I think the most important thing to keep in mind when writing a verse is to make it a complete sentence. Ive even heard some advice from some of my friends who have written great words to go with a verse. But this is just my personal opinion.
Not only do you want your verse to be easy to read, but you also want it to be easy to understand. This may sound obvious, but in this day and age, we are all inundated with information, so the more information you can gather, the easier it is to swallow the information and understand it in your own words.
I think this is one of the best lines of advice I ever heard: “Don’t be afraid of taking the time to write a good verse. If you’re writing a really good verse, you’ll be able to figure out a way to turn it into a great song afterwards.” This is a very good lesson, and can be applied to almost every aspect of your writing.
In a nutshell, think of a verse as a quick summary of the most important information. If you have a good one, youll be able to take it and turn it into a great song. If you can’t come up with a good one, try to build it from other pieces of information youve seen or heard.
A good verse is a good song, but a good song isnt a good verse. I was playing around last night with rhyming to see how many lines I could cram into a couple of minutes. In the end I came up with the verse below. I’m sure you cant put it into words, but it can be used as a quick rhyming guide.
I remember reading about this somewhere and wondered if you could use the same technique for short verses. The lines are also very easy to fill in with your own ideas as long as there isn’t too much repetition.
I think in general if you want to give a song a catchy name, try to get the first two or three lines to rhyme with each other. This way, your verse will be as unique as your name. In fact, the best songs often start with a line like, “I think this song should be called ‘I Wish I Were You,'” since that’s one of the most common lines in music.
We don’t have many songs that use this technique, but I think it’s a great one. If you really want to go for a catchy name, try to get the first two or three verses to rhyme with each other.

In fact, the best songs often start with a line like, I think this song should be called I Wish I Were You, because thats one of the most common lines in music.
