A fellow blogger (sorry, I can't remember who) shared a book spine poem yesterday and I realized that I hadn't used this form for a slice this month. Some years I use it several times.
The books all came from my library book basket. Limiting the number of books you use is key to a quick book spine poem and sometimes the stars seem to align with just the right titles as they did for me this morning.
Dear writer,

This is my fifteenth year participating in the March Slice of Life Challenge, writing every day during the month of March. Thank
you, Two Writing Teachers, for creating this challenge and providing the
space and support for us year after year. And thanks to this magnificent
community for sharing stories with me and encouraging my writing life.
These titles really work well together. I especially like the second stanza. arjeha

ReplyDeleteThe poem is enchanting, the titles enticing.
Book spine poetry is so much fun! I was happy to read your slice today and see how wonderfully you arranged the books from your library basket.
ReplyDeleteHow creatively you combined these titles, each one an interesting world unto itself, and quite charming as they all go so well together here. ~ fireflytrails
ReplyDeleteRamona, the book titles blended together nicely. the last stanza stays in my mind. May your writing continue through April.
