The poetry challenge today on the dVerse site is to write a “found” poem using the words on book spines.
Bjorn asks us to:
Go through your collection on books, and note the titles.
Sort them so the titles form a poem.
Take a photo of the books.
Write down the poem.
And so, my found poem — a haiku of sorts — with its found title:
Finding Your Way
wherever you go
roads of destiny — options —
some answered questions
What Rhymes with Stanza? 
Brief but nice, rocking the prompt gently. You ain’t afraid of no spine poetry.

This one turned so well. I love Melody Beattie. She helped me out of a big jam in the past.

I’ve had that book forever, it seems. I remember it being very helpful at the time I read it.

Her book, “Codependent No More” is the one that really helped me.

A haiku is like the seed of poetry, it says everything succinctly, and you can choose to let it germinate into a full poem or leave it as a seed and ingest its essence. Your book spine haiku is definitely not spineless.

I got a ten volume set of O. Henry books from my grandfather. They are, indeed, treasured. 🙂
