I haven't written for months, but a prompt on IG got me to write this poem. Not sure if there is any interest over here but here we go!

An image of a poem I wrote which says: I CARRIED YOU HERE By MJ Fouldes 07-08-2025 In my heart, in my pocket, Like a hair in a locket: I carried you here. I carried you here, Amongst the memories of magical moments & nerve-crunching nightmares. I carried you far across the bitterest of trails & trials that punished me for daring to dream outside my stifling box. I carried the guilt, Gilded into tears that you shed in a daily deluge of drama. A torrential downpour of disappointment, Sealed with a cursed kiss for me & me alone. I carried my head, Carried it onwards, carried it far, Even though heavy with a burden that The Universe packed into every morsel of memory. I carried on carrying it on. Onwards to the ocean of stars, Where I would release myself & become nothing but blissful, background radiation for all of eternity.

Elton John is very much a piano man and I've always loved the song Dark Diamond (featuring Stevie Wonder on harmonica).

Day 13: Another favourite song

I felt like sharing a Muse song. So my favourites but I am going with the classic "New Born"! It's just so good! Mixing classical elements with rock! Love It!

Day 12: A song you would describe as beautiful

The REM song "At My Most Beautiful" is such a wonderfully gorgeous tune. The words, music & production all fit the "beautiful" criteria - even the title does!

A flower reminded me of the beautiful Travis song "Flowers In The Window". Really tugs at my sentimental side!

Day 11: A song where the title is a question

After a long absence David Bowie returned with the haunting "Where Are We Now?" It had a real sad beauty to it that grows with each listen

Liberty reminded me of the amazing title track The Liberty of Norton Folgate by Madness! Don't let the length put you off as it's like a suite of many mini songs!

Day 10: A song with a colour in the title

Well I have been thinking about The White Stripes recently so why not the awesome "Blue Orchid"?! Plus the band has a colour in the name!

So the original post for ##DavidsMonthOfMusic seems to have weirdly been deleted, making everyone's posts lose context and some of us not having the calendar :-(. So here it is.

I think the beautiful woozy & elegiac Subterranean Homesick Alien by Radiohead will suit just fine!

Day 9: The first song you'd put on a mixtape to a crush

Easy! Out Of The Blue by John Lennon! It was a mixtape staple that I would tape for all - crushes or just friends!

A film clapperboard? Well how about a piece from a film? I've always loved the opening theme to The Goonies & here it is by a live orchestra!

This thought just struck me when I saw this van in tonight's #DoctorWho viewing!
An image showing a van that says "Silcock Bakeries" (From the Doctor Who story "The Ambassadors Of Death") An image of Doctor Who villain Sil saying "My WHAT now?!"
