Addicted to Book Spine Poetry! SOL 2013: 26 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.  


This is one that I started on Sunday, and it begged for completion.  Now, one of my jobs during next week's spring break is to return the piles of pulled books to their proper bookshelves.

This poem, composed of inspirational books, features titles that are in descending syllabic order.  There's a pattern beginning here - slice, book spine poetry, slice, book spine poetry, slice, book spine poetry.  I may need an intervention soon!

  1. How cool is it that you were able to incorporate descending words in the titles to reach that final Joy. Every time I walk by the shelves, my mind is working on how can I use this in a poem. I hope you are sending these in to Travis.

  5. I want to borrow some of those! This is great! I tried a book spine poem last March, and I keep thinking I should find a new one this time after seeing what other writers have created.
