More Book Spine Poetry SOL 2013: 24 of 31


For the month of March we are challenging ourselves to write a slice every day. 

Slice of Life is sponsored every Tuesday by Stacey and Ruth from Two Writing Teachers.  


Thanks to Elsie's Friday post about book spine poetry, I can't walk by a bookshelf without retrieving interesting titles and engaging in a little wordplay.  I still haven't allowed myself to visit my shelves of picture books, so there may be more book spine poetry to come.

  1. Love the 'personal manifesto', Ramona. I sold many books in my recent estate sale & they were very difficult to say goodbye to. But don't feel too sorry for me, I have brought many along with me too. I think I'm going to have to find some titles to inspire a little book spine poem! Yours are great!
