Welcome to the 42nd poem in this series! I’ve found myself back on the subject of memory, yet again – it’s kind of interesting how a lot of these songs have me thinking back. This week’s poem was inspired by ’10 for 10′ by Magnolia Park, which I’ve embedded below so you can listen along while you’re reading if you like, and I hope you enjoy this one!

Enforce Your Ending
I had a lot of fun writing this week’s poem, which is the 41st in this series and was inspired by ‘Worried About Ray’ by The Hoosiers, which I’ve embedded below so you can listen while you read, if you like! I hope you enjoy reading this one.
Remember To Live
We’ve made it to the 40th entry in this song-inspired series of poems! I hope you enjoy reading this one – and listening to the song that inspired it, ‘Long Live The Queen’ by Frank Turner, which I’ve embedded below as always so you can listen while you read if you like. It’s a little bit of an abstract one, I think, which I hope is as interesting to read as it was to write!
Walk & Listen – Or Not
Welcome back to my series of song-inspired poems! We’re at 39 this week, very close to 40 (and therefore 50, which will mark me being a quarter done with this project!). This poem does centre a lot around sound and hearing, which I feel works quite well for a poem in this series–as well as it, obviously, being inspired by this week’s song, ‘Get The Funk Out’ by Extreme. I hope you enjoy reading through this one!
Ink From Stardust
I’m back with another song-inspired poem this week! This one seemed to go in a more meta direction, which was interesting to write, and I hope it’s also quite interesting to read! We’re up to the 38th poem in this series and, as ever, you’ll find the song that it was inspired by embedded below, as well as links to the previous and first poems in this series.
Create Your Peace
I feel like this week’s poem has a bit of a slower pace to it, but it follows in the footsteps of the past few weeks’ poems, which have flittered quite closely around the topic of memories and, in a sense, the creation of a personal history, which is something I’ve written about semi-regularly, so it’s nice to be on familiar ground for a while. This week’s poem was inspired by ‘Way to Fall’ by Starsailor, and I hope you enjoy it!
In The Corner Of A Nightmare
This week’s poem didn’t end up quite going in the direction that I thought it would, but nevertheless, I quite enjoyed writing this one. It veered straight into the world of dreams, daydreams and nightmares, and was inspired by ‘My Own Worst Enemy’ by Lit – as with all of the other poems in this series, the song is embedded below if you’d like to listen to it, and you can check out the first and previous poems in this series with the links below!
Paper Memories
As you might be able to guess from the title, this week’s poem is quite centred around the theme of memories, and more specifically those memories that we keep through actually writing things down–and the state that those memories might end up in after some time has passed. It was inspired by ‘Mess’ by Real Friends and is the ninth entry into this song-inspired poems series that I’m doing, and the links for both the first poem in this series and the previous one (coincidentally both inspired by Tears For Fears songs!) are below. I hope you enjoy this poem!
This Is For You
This week’s entry into my song-inspired poem series was inspired by another Tears For Fears song (just like the very first poem in this series, which there is a link to below!): ‘Head Over Heels’. Definitely a completely different mood than last week’s poem, but I hope you enjoy this one!
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!
