Last week I posted a few poems I wrote by stacking some books together. It was a very fun exercise and I wish to share some more with you all soon. In the mean time I have asked some people to create some poems of their own. Here are a few and hopefully at the end of the week I’ll have more guest poems to share
Please enjoy and send me your poems as well, if you’re interested.

No abras los ojos,
Se lo que estas pensando.
Si me deseas,
La boda.

Don’t open your eyes,
I know what you think.
If you desire me,
The wedding.

The witching hour switched any bitter thing.
Promise not to tell every last one the truth about forever.
Return to me the girl she used to be . . .
. . . and after that, the dark.





All of these were great! but I have to say, Jackie OWNED this activity. Hers were stellar!
totally agree!
What fun spine poems! I’ve been seeing a lot of this around lately, and these are all great.
It was fun going through my shelves in search of good titles to do this. But I agree with Rebecca: Jackie did a very good job. Love her poems!
Thanks, guys! Yours were all fantastic too, this is such a fun activity!
