Love-A-Thon: Book Spine Poetry

Hello Poetteers, 


It is another day of LoveAThon challenges. This morning we have to come up with some book spine poems. 

Rose under fire
burned into cinder
my name is memory. 
Out of the easy
and between shades of gray 
say what you will
every last word. 
Her treasures
are written in the stars
because every soul is a star.

I had too much fun with this. I hope you enjoyed this! You can find more poetry hacks here. My poetry book, Her Treasures, is available here. 

Thank you, Fida

These are insanely awesome. I love the "rose under fire/ burned into cinder" line in the first poem. What an image. And the second poem! I love that you used two of Ruta Sepetys's books!

Upcoming Poetry Reads of 2021, Part 2

Hello Poetteers,  I'm sharing more poetry books I discovered and am excited to read! March Coming Home to Her By Emily Juniper It is a celebration of being human. It is a coming out journey, an exploration of sexuality, femininity, loving, and being loved. How to Bloom By Tatyana White Jenkins A collection of poems about the enthralling, complex, grueling, and beautiful journey of growth. April The Gravity Inside Us By Chloe Frayne  An ode to whatever it is we carry that pulls us in and out of place, and speaks so insistently of fate. The Medicine That Burns by Molly S Hillery It is a raw declaration on what a life of trauma can look like after the dust settles and the poems have happy endings. It is an unflinching narrative on how hurt is cyclical, how recovery must be redefined repeatedly, and how shame can poison us in the worst ways. I See How You've Kept Me by Aisha Adams A debut poetry book that takes you through a journey of brokenness to reach complete healing. May The...

In 1771, Alexia had everything: the man of her dreams, reconciliation with her father, even a child on the way. But she was never meant to stay. It broke her heart, but Alexia heeded destiny and traveled five hundred years back to stop the Soulless from  becoming. In the thirteenth century, the Holy Roman Church has ordered the Knights Templar to exterminate the Passionate, her bloodline.
