Book spine poetry, giving it a try
Last night I sat on the back of the sofa in my library with my head cocked sideways reading book spines till I got a crick in my neck. It was all Lynn’s fault. She posted this brilliant challenge and people in my writing group took it up with fantastic imaginations.
As I sat there reading the spines all things ridiculous grabbed hold of my heart and wound their sticky tentacles around my soul till I was laughing.
Here are links to Misky’s, Margo’s, Linda’s, and De’s.
I hope the energy for being silly is thick where you are. Go ahead, cut it with a butter knife and spread it on your toast.

Love it! It’s addictive, isn’t it. I haven’t looked at a book the same since. Such a wonderful prompt idea. Yours are awesome! Thanks so much for the link-up. 🙂
Lynn Daue
Guilty as charged! And think, you get to do this again next week!
I love your poems, especially the ones using single authors. I think that might have to be a twist in a few weeks …
Linda Hatton
Looks like you had fun. I love them! My favorite is the one about The World’s Wife. Good advice. 😉
