We loved the idea of this challenge, which was to create a poem only using book titles! It was a lot of fun, but it was also quite difficult. We couldn't really think of any rhyming titles, so we went with more of a free verse approach here:
Under the never sky,
The name of the star,
The dark unwinding,
Unearthly beautiful creatures torment.
Something strange and deadly,
Spirit bound, boundless, entwined,
Unspoken, the unidentified unwind.
Before I fall everneath,
Embrace the immortal rules.
The name of the star,

Unearthly beautiful creatures torment.

Before I fall everneath,
Embrace the immortal rules.
Wow, you did a surprisingly good job haha. I especially LOVE the this: "Before I fall everneath, embrace the immortal rules". Sounds really good!
ReplyDeleteThat's my favorite line from the poem! We sat around for a good couple of hours brainstorming!
DeleteI think that you did great! Awesome poem. That's a fun challenge. I'm posting on blogs and am going to go back and do one of my own.
ReplyDeleteIt took us a long time to pull something decent together. It was definitely a tough but fun challenge!
DeleteI found this challenge to be the most difficult! I don't have a poetic bone in my body and it didn't help that I only had titles (most of which were fantasy)! Nicely done ladies!
ReplyDeleteIt was a tough challenge! It was easier for Lee and I to put our heads together to come up with something; I can't imagine doing it solo!
DeleteThat is awesome! I always freak out about using titles that start with 'the' in book spine poetry and you've made it work so well. Well done guys :)

We had to scour our shelves looking for titles that would work!
DeleteI echo Judith! That was my favorite line! "Before I fall everneath, embrace the immortal rules." SO good! Flows beautfully!
ReplyDeleteThat was my favorite line from the poem too! Out of everything, it made the most sense.
DeleteThis is great! What a fun little challenge. You girls did wonderful.
ReplyDeleteIt was a tough challenge; we feel accomplished!
DeleteYour poem is so otherworldly!! I love it!!
ReplyDeleteIt was so hard finding titles that would fit well together!
DeleteI love how this evokes a certain feeling - slightly mysterious, slightly tempting, slightly creepy. Amazing job!
ReplyDeleteWe just tried to find book titles that had verbs in them.
DeleteThis is really some excellent poetry, I LOVED it! Also I am loving the illustrations on your blog!
ReplyDeleteThanks! We had a hard time finding titles that would fit well in our poem.
DeleteI love your poem and how pretty it is! Like what Alexa said, there is mystery to it but it's also flowy and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWe kind of just threw something together, and it surprisingly came out fairly decent.
DeleteYou're a poet, Lee!
ReplyDelete"Spirit bound, boundless, entwined,
Unspoken, the unidentified unwind." - my favorite lines
:)
Ally deserves most of the credit for writing this; I just added a few titles here and there.
DeleteThen great job, Ally! :)
DeleteOoooh I love it! I did the free verse as well. That flowed really well and was so pleasant to read :) Great job!
ReplyDeleteFree verse was a real lifesaver for us! We couldn't think of any rhyming book titles!
DeleteI love this! Your verse feels so dark and eerie, great job!
ReplyDeleteIt just kind of took off in that direction. We do read a lot of paranormal, so that's probably why the poem ended up with a dark tone, lol.
DeleteOooh, I really like this one! Especially the last two lines! Great job!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was quite a challenge finding book titles that worked well together!
DeleteOh it's fantastic! You did a great job. I love all the book titles I see there :D You included a lot of my favorites. Jaclyn @ JC's Book Haven
ReplyDeleteWe had to run through both our lists of read books for quite some time. We gave up on trying to rhyme pretty quickly, lol.
DeleteThis is an amazing poem! It turned out AMAZING!!! I just got shivers from reading this! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! It made us realize how hard it is to compose book spine poetry, lol.
