Day 10: Book Spine Poem

Well, I never knew there was such a thing as a 'book spine' poem - but there is! It consists basically of stacking books on top of one another with their titles in a poem alignment.  Which is today's lovely and very fun, very addictive prompt. I couldn't stop doing them, once I got one (and my bookshelves are in a mess to prove it!)

Hello sunshine!

The grass is singing, 

the people look like like flowers at last

eating fire, 

butterflies and moths. 

Bring me sunshine, 
wild
tigers in red weather
ways of seeing
astonishment.  

The versions of us 
lost in translation:
pure
wild 
love poems. 

Paris Poem

Paris was ours, 
Paris to the moon!
Paris, Paris -
a moveable feast. 
Paris, mon amour. 

 A Couplet on Being Single

In a town of five thousand people
the heart is a lonely hunter.  

Travel Haiku

On the road
lonesome traveller, 
big magic.

 

Tender is the night.

Beloved 

nocturnes -

gilead

to the moon.

Redemption

The snow queen,
the ice queen,
there but for the
green heart.  

Love begins in winter:
the spinning heart, 
the magnetic north;
rapture.  

Dystopia
 
A confederacy of dunces
the world to come.
