Poems on the bookshelves – #BookSpinePoetry

Posted on April 15, 2016 by Sue Vincent

The Story Reading Ape shared a link to an article by Lisa Shambrook about book-spine poetry. The idea is to create a poem using book titles. It looked like fun… if you have a go, share your links with Lisa 🙂

The silent road through the gates of death,

Hymn of the universe.

    Love them, Sue. Especially the last one, that flows beautifully! And quite partial to the middle one as I have The Dark is Rising too!
