Via So Anyway, a meme:
Put your music player on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results. The first line of the twenty-first song is the title.
Here's mine. The title is "I'm Not A Perfect Person." Ahem.
When your baby leaves you all alone
(Ou sont passees les plaines, les arbes a l'horizon)
There must be some kind of way out of this.
I'll never let you see -
Do you feel that?
There's a grief that can't be spoken.
Now he's brought down the rain, and the Indian summer has gone.
Like anyone would be,
There's a nail in the door.
Am I blue?
On the turning away,
If we still have time, we might still get by.
Anyone who's ever had a heart ...
It's not unusual to be loved by anyone
The night we met, I knew I needed you so
Closed off from love, I didn't need the pain
Love, I get so lost sometimes
When I think of all the worries people seem to find.
You could power a city with this.
I moved your picture from my wall.

This is great. Neat idea. Might have my students try it sometime. Funny how some of the lines seem to intersect even though they are random. I wonder if this has more to do with recurring motifs in music or your own taste. Hmmmm....
