Love-a-Thon 2017: Fancy Yourself a Poet?

February 19, 2017

Love-A-Thon 2017 - Book Spine Poetry

Book Spine Poetry

Book spine poetry’s hands-down my favourite kind of bookish challenge. I was excited to see it return for this year’s Love-A-Thon. This time round I limited myself to my TBR pile. Another personal goal was to use at least eight or seven books.

The Careful Undressing of Love

Shattered, uprooted, blue,

the world outside — very in pieces.

A gathering of shadows

down from the mountain;

a shadow bright and burning.

Ruin and rising,

the sense of an ending after summer.

    Ahhh, your poem is so good! I find book spine poetry a lot of fun, but also challenging. There are so many possibilities that I get paralyzed with indecision. :-P
