Happy Poetry Friday! For National Poetry Month this year, I am perusing my bookshelves and building book spine poems.
How To Be a Butterfly
Step gently out
flutter and hum
you can fly!

I hope you'll come back again to see what new poem I've cobbled together. You can find all the poems I've written this month on the Book Spine Poems page.
This week, Poetry Friday is hosted by Irene Latham at Live Your Poem. I hope you'll take the time to check out all things poetry being shared today.
I'm really enjoying your book spine poems! I tried one today, too--pulled half the books off the shelf but had fun with the process.
ReplyDeleteLove all your spine poems, definitely a cut above. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, you have a large collection of books to be able to cobble together these magical poems. I have seen butterflies "step gently out" "Flutter and hum" and fly. I love the magic of this poem, and the others are so fun too.
ReplyDeleteWonderful, Tricia, I have "Step Gently Out" and those words fit so wonderfully, as do the others!
ReplyDeleteTricia, your choice of books spines meld together so seamlessly, they belong on the same page!
ReplyDeleteTricia, your book spine poem is an absolute beauty! An exceptional weaving of titles.
ReplyDeleteEvery single one of these is fantastic! You have a talent for building these poem-y stacks!
