The Plagiarist

A Stolen Poem

By Mike Singleton πŸ’œ Mikeydred Published 3 years ago β€’ 1 min read
Detail from an Echo Sampler - Source of "Try,Try,Try"

This is just an experimental piece to construct a sonnet where the first part of each line is the name of the first song on an album plucked fairly randomly from my collection.

I don't have a clue whether it will make any sense or be coherent, but here are fourteen lines containing fourteen song names from fourteen albums.

See if you know any, you may know the song titles but the album could be a completely different kettle of fish

We Are The Foolish But We Care For You

I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night, It's True

Custard Pie, Something Good On The Menu

Lyin' In A Bed Of Fire Burning Through

Brown Sugar, You Know It Is So Damned Sweet

Try, Try, Try To Taste That Honey Bound Treat

Thunder Road Is The Way To Feel The Heat

Ain't Nothing But A House Party So Neat

The Devil Will Always Try To Tempt Us

Brando Screams Trapped In Some Hellish Circus

The Feeling Begins It's So Precarious

Lover, You Should Have Come Over, I Trust

Loveblood Be In Us, Be Kind, That's Agreed

    Interesting experiment, Mike! Reads almost like automatic writing.

  • The idea of writing using cd titles really intrigued me. The results were pretty damn good. I'm going to check out some of the others later

    The best thing about an experiment is that to be successful, it just has to yield results. I'd say a definately successful experiment. There is great potential in the way you conducted this to lead to interesting creations in future :)
