The Day I Tried Writing Poetry Using Nothing But The Album Names From My Current Music Collection

I was bored enough to come up with something clever to try. What follows are all the names of the albums I have in my netbook collection at the moment. I didn't use any self-titled or Best Of Collection names or soundtracks. I just listed every album name in alphabetical order and turned the titles into an ensemble of short poems and phrases. I think it came out rather well. Try it with your collection.

ALPHABETICAL

"Anam cara," and everything changes.


Antics...
Are we just playing around here or do we mean what we say?

Baby darling doll face honey...
begin to hope, brighten the corners

broken bells
brothers

civilian cosmogramma deadringer

Dear catastrophe waitress,

Deja entendu. Demon days, details employment. Everyday, fingers crossed. Get born. Get guilty. Gettin filthy? God loves ugly (good news for people who love bad news). 

- Guero
have one on me
Hello graphic missile:
here anonymous
high violet

if you're feeling sinister...
in case we die...
in time, infinite arms...
intimacy.


"It's never been like that."
"Jet black."
"Junior, keep it hid."
"Kind of blue..."
"Light."
"Light grenades."
 
LISTENER SUPPORTED

live on two legs
living things loosely based on fiction
lost dogs
make yourself manners
midnite vultures, mines
morning view

nevermind
no one's first, and you're next, odelay
of the blue colour of the sky
oh no
ok go on an island, oracular spectacular
pink moon pomegranate
poses power in numbers
prove it
quality control sea change
seven's travels shame, shame...

sigh no more, silent alarm
sing loud. 
sing proud.

Slanted and enchanted, some devil, St. Elsewhere.
teen dream
the devil and god are raging inside me
the dusty foot philosopher
the idiot
the last laugh
the life pursuit
the odd couple
the opposite side of the sea
the suburbs
this could mean trouble...
(you don't speak for the club)
this is happening...
this is war.

 thistled spring
time of no reply

To the sea, travelers in space & time!
Troubador!
Turn on the bright lights, united!

We were dead before the ship sank.
(when life gives you lemons, you paint that shit gold)
Wolfgang Amadaeus Phoenix,
you could have it so much better
you kingdom you
