In honor of National Poetry Month I have created my own bit of verse. I chose books from my shelf that sounded like spring and put them together. In case you can't read sideways here's what my poem says:Shadows on the rock
Gone with the wind
A walk in the woods
Just listen

I couldn't resist! I posted a book poem on my blog already. :) It was fun, thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool. I'm working on mine now. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a very cool idea. I don't know if I can do it or not. I'm going to think about it today. I'm a new follower. Belle
ReplyDeleteBookBelle - I hope you'll try your hand at making a book poem! It's fun and took me less than 10 mins! Of course mine isn't the most original poem either but I was in it more for the fun than the literary quality. hehe.
