Spine Poetry Strikes Again

I've posted some spine poetry before, and oh, how I love it! Bringing together some gorgeous and mysterious titles and creating a running theme...so fun!

So when I saw that some fabulous authors were hosting a Spine Poetry Book Blitz, I had to get in on the action. :) Here are 5 poems I came up with for the occasion:


To love and to cherish
a beauty so rare
across a star-swept sea,
under a Maui moon:
a distant melody
here to stay.


The lesson:
Look to the East.
My hope is found
all in good time.


A love undone,
nipped in the bud.
Emerald green
pandemonium,
burning sky
under a blackberry moon...
The price of victory.


Heiress - 
mark of distinction.
Her mother's hope:
love's fortune,
the heir,
sons of encouragement,
love at any cost.


Cruel beauty.
Poison
resistance.
Recalled
yesterday's tomorrow,
love's promises
meant to be mine...
Forget me not.

TBR Spine Poetry

After seeing wonderful pics from blogging friends Kara (Flowers of Quiet Happiness) and Ruth (Booktalk & More), I simply couldn't resist taking on the challenge of coming up with some "spine poetry"!

These two "poems" are all from books in my TBR or "currently reading" stacks (both YA and Christian fiction)...


Welcome to Last Chance
On Distant Shores:
Delirium,
Pandemonium, 
Shadow and Bone...
Shades of Mercy
All in Good Time
For Darkness Shows the Stars.


The Elite:
Born of Persuasion.
A Noble Groom,
The False Princess - 
Matched.
Wishing on Willows...
Burning Sky,
Dragonwitch,
Into the Whirlwind...
Love at Any Cost.

So much fun to try "writing" poetry in a new way! Have you all tried this? Or have you come up with some other ways of "writing" poetry or stories?
