2015 Book Blogger Love-A-Thon: Book Spine Poetry

The first mini-challenge in this year's Book Blogger Love-A-Thon is all about creating book spine poetry. I would have loved to arrange some of my books into poetry and showed you the pictures, but I'm much better with words. Oh, and I literally have no idea where my camera is right now, so that's kind of a problem. I did decide to take a few titles from my library and create a poem for all of you to read.

I haven't written a poem in a few years, but I used to write them all the time. It was just something I did in my spare time, whether it was a poem or lyrics to a song. I'm not as creative these days, but I kind of liked how this one turned out, and maybe I'll start writing more original poetry in the future.

My Life Next Door started with
My Last Kiss.
All at once, I thought
this was it.
In Just One Year, I learned
that The Kiss of Deception is something learned.
I don't regret
the time that was well spent
but I cry a lot, pretty much all the time.
But if what they say turns out to be true,
I'd rather be a Wallflower than be with you.
And now I stand here
ready to go
because Staying Strongjust helps me know.

So there you have it - my first ever poem created with titles of books. I'm definitely not the greatest poet on the planet, but hey... that's what practice is for. Who knows... maybe one day, after I keep writing, I'll have a book of poetry published. (Well... maybe after I get a novel published.)

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you're enjoying all the Love-A-Thon posts!
