A Plagiaristic Poem Taken From A Picture Book

This Poem Is Inspired By The Book "A Brief History of Album Covers"

Introduction

I often look through art and album cover books, I have a lot in my collection. I have done similar things in my Plagiaristic Poetry series before but they have a more random element and are based on my record collection.

This is just based on the entries in this particular book, and I thought that titles would make great line starts for my poem.

This is likely to be very surreal given some of the lines I have chosen and if you want to find out who the artists are you will have to guess or buy the book from the link at the end of this poem.

  • And yet, it was "In the Court of the Crimson King" where we began, lol. I guess we've come round full circle (with one added line).
