How to Write a Book Spine Poem

You can find poems anywhere! Even in a stack of books! Creating a spine poem is much like writing found poetry but instead of using the text from a page of a book or article, you use the titles printed on the spines of books. Simply arrange the books so the spines can be read like a sentence.

You don’t need a large number of books to create a spine poem, just an imagination. The children’s books in my poem below came from my small home library.

Forest has song,
stars,
winter bees...
Neema's reason to smile.
Thank you, Earth.

CAN’T GET ENOUGH?
