Today is the day!!! If you have been following along you know that I mentioned we would be doing this super fun poetry form today, Monday! So, this is an intriguing way to “create” or, actually, “find” a poem by arranging and rearranging a stack of books horizontally that show the title on the book spine into something clever that might be a “poem.” Just like creating any poetry, you get to decide if it will happy or sad, serious or funny, or whatever.
Simply start perusing the
titles on your bookshelves and pull out some that have possibilities and start
stacking them up to see what you might discover. This seems to be a favorite
poetry form. It’s pretty fun. When you come up with a short stack of books with
titles that lend themselves to being a poem of sorts, snap a pic, and post it
for today’s entries and please also type up the words, line by line (title by
title) so it looks like a poem as some book spines are hard to read. See the
examples below. Thanks! Have Fun!! Cheers.
No fair adding extra words,
articles (a, the . . .), etc. Use ONLY the title words from your book spines!!
Ready? … here we go!!!
