Book spine poetry is always so much fun to do. Naturally, I was stoked that it’s been included as a challenge again this year. To see more poems, be sure to visit all the blogs linked up on Alexa’s post. Be sure to visit Alexa’s lovely co-hosts too who together made this year’s Love-A-Thon possible: Mel from The Daily Prophecy, Hazel from Stay Bookish and Cee from The Novel Hermit.
Without further ado, let me present to you an entire series of book spine poetry. My sister saw me dissect my bookshelf in a bid to compose a bunch of poems. She thought it’d be fun to join in too, so she did. I came up with:
- Secrets and Lies
- The Fix
- Broken Strings, Escaping Perfect
My sister contributed:
- Exile
- Drama
Secrets and Lies
Girls in pants
Catching fire.
The Fix
After summer, the girl from everywhere
Arranged beautiful, broken things —
Fixing Delilah.
Exile
Banished into the still blue
Like it never happened.
Hello?
Drama
Say the word;
Second time around —
Small damages.
Secrets and lies —
Fractured
Very in pieces.
P.S. I love you.
P.S. I still love you.
Broken Strings, Escaping Perfect
Hello? Zac and Mia?
Truest, your voice is all I hear…
Feeling sorry for Celia, the ex-debutante;
Too hot to handle second time around.
When reason breaks — these girls!
Forget tomorrow.
Breathe!
What would Emma do?
Exile?
I LOVE how you added the “title” to the side. Also – this is my favorite:
Drama
Say the word;
Second time around —
Small damages.
Secrets and lies —
Fractured
Very in pieces.
P.S. I love you.
P.S. I still love you.
More, please!
:O You both are really skilled! I had to write my poem with extra words – I couldn’t fathom doing it with ONLY book spine words :/ Great job to the both of you ! I have to say, I really like Exile and The Fix! :)
Are you and your sister competing to see which one of your poems is the most liked? I know that for me, if I ever did this with my sister, we’d actually be squabbling over it! xD
Amazing! Love it!
I love these! :D You guys did such a great job!
WOW, WOW, WOWWWWWW JOSEPHINE. You and your sister did a fantastic job. So very impressed by the 6+ spine poems. ;D
I think my favorite has to be Exile. I can just imagine the “hello?” being spoken in a vast of emptiness. Love that imagery.
You both did such a great job! I love these! I think The Fix and Drama are my favorites, but they are all SO GOOD!
The poems are so beautiful! And so are the pics! Exile is probably my favourite too :)
HOLY MOLY, JOSEPHINE (AND SISTER) – these are seriously like works of art. I am SO impressed by how you guys pulled together these poems! The Fix and Drama are my favorites, I think, but I really do love them all. EXCELLENT POETRY :D
These are all really good! I think my favorite is the one labelled Exile! So good! Mine turned into more a book spine story, but it was fun to do! Good job!
I love all of these poems!
These are so great! Your photos are amazing! I love Exile the best: it was short but had a big impact in those three lines!
Oh my gosh, these are all so wonderful! I only did one poem this time around- kudos to you and your sister for doing all these. I love The Fix one most! And as always, lovely shots. <3 I'm so terrible with white background shots. :((
ohmygod I’m looking at everyone else’s and mine are absolutely terrible, these are SO GREAT like how even??
ohh, some great poems you have here!
I like “Drama” the best! :)
