Here's the first of several 'song poems' I've written. Every line here (including the title) is a single, unaltered song title. It's a writing endeavor I'm really excited about, but I want to know what readers' think. I'm experimenting with how to construct and present this type of poem so I'm trying something that will only work online: every line of text will link you to its song. Read the poem completely first and then sample the tunes as much or as little as you'd like. I think you'll find that the poem also makes for an enjoyable, diverse playlist as well. It would be stellar to get some responses from you guys! Also, should I post more? (PS: starred songs contain some profanity and some songs will just link to the artist's website if I can't find the song online)
Hymn For The Missing
So I Finally Decided To Give Myself A Reason
A Good Reason
Before
There's Hell
...That I May Not Cause Pain
I Swear This Time I Mean It
Silence Must Be Heard
On Melancholy Hill
Runners Of The Sun
We Owe This To Ourselves
Now We've Made Our Ascent
Through The Light Darkly
Through The Static***
Across The Rainbow Bridge
To The Ends Of The Earth
Dusting Down The Stars
Don't Get Lost In Heaven
Easier Said Than Done
At Least We Tried
Peace Love And Understanding
Different Names For The Same Thing
You're Almost There
Now The One You Once Loved Is Leaving
An Almighty Thud
A Hundred Times In Every Direction
Here We Are After Dark
We Will Become Silhouettes
Swallowed By The Night
Once Rendering
Well Thought Out Twinkles
Conversations With Stars
Arriving Somewhere But Not Here
Ghost Symbol
What Do You Go Home To?
Each Life Critical
To Whom It May Concern
Don't Let Them See You
For Those Who Wait
Help Is On Its Way
