Interestingly, the nineteenth entry into my song-inspired poem series (this one!) was inspired both by ‘Lust For Life’ by Iggy Pop, which I’ve embedded below, and also another poem from this series. I’d consider this poem to be something of a ‘sister poem’ to Paper Memories, which was, in turn, inspired by ‘Mess’ by Real Friends. Both of them have memories and remembrance at the core, but I think they explore that theme in slightly different ways, while still being quite complementary to each other, especially towards the end of this one. In any case, I hope you enjoy this one!

Haunting Of Dust
Before we get into the poem this week, I have an announcement which I alluded to last week. My big news is that Cats Home is going to be released on the 15th September – yes, tomorrow! This is the release date for the ebook, which will be available at some point tomorrow to read (for free, as ever) and also the date on which I will upload the print book for publication. The print book versions always take a little more time than the ebook versions, so I hope you won’t mind the wait. But anyway, with that out of the way, please enjoy this little poem about memory and dust.
Reflections
This week, I’ve got a short little poem for you on, unsurprisingly, the topic of ‘reflections’. It’s one of those where I’ve used the actual, physical idea of a reflection along with the more metaphorical/mental interpretation as well, which is always fun. If you like this sort of poetry, feel free to check out my new poetry book Commute (available as a free ebook and in print!).
Flutters Of Memory
This is actually a poem which I wrote for the FOURALL Magazine Spring Internship Program as a Creative Writing Intern, and it was featured in FOURALL Magazine’s sixth issue. I’m pretty proud of it, so I thought I’d post it here too. The poem focuses on memories and draws off of some of my fondest memories with old friends. I hope you enjoy it!
