Retribution By Moonlight

This week I’ve got another song-inspired poem for you to continue the series, and this one was written with ‘She-Wolf’ by Megadeth in mind. I think it’s a nice mix of a bit of fantasy like last week and the more supernatural side of my writing (similar to Twisted Bloodlines), so I hope you enjoy this one!

Where The Gods And Rats Watch

Interestingly, this week’s poem had me thinking back to the fantasy poems I was writing for the blog a little bit ago, because I got into that similar sort of fantasy headspace for this one, which was inspired by ‘115’ by Elena Siegman and Kevin Sherwood (from the Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies soundtrack). As with the other poems, I’ve embedded the song below so you can listen while you read if you’d like to, and I hope you enjoy this one!

Teenage Odyssey

This week, I’ve got another entry in my song-inspired series of poems! This one was inspired by ‘Wind Me Up’ by Extreme, which I’ve included below so you can have a listen while you read, if you like!

Feline Details

I’m continuing the music-inspired series of poetry today with this wonderfully cat-focused poem, which was written while I listened to ‘Fancy Shoes’ by Steam Powered Giraffe. I think it’s a nice little mix of cat appreciation and ridiculousness (while still being related to my perhaps loose interpretation of the song) so I hope you enjoy this one!

And The Rest

Just like last week, this poem is directly inspired by a song from the playlist that my partner has put together for me. This one was written with ‘Message In A Bottle’ by The Police playing, and I’ve embedded that song below so you can have a listen while you read the poem. I hope you enjoy this one!

To Witness, To Behold

Something new, today! This is a poem that was directly inspired by a song, intentionally – I had the vague idea a little while ago for a collection of poems inspired by songs chosen by my partner, who is much more musically minded and knowledgeable than myself, and this is the first, inspired by ‘Sowing The Seeds Of Love’ by Tears For Fears.
