Inspired by an email I received from Red Balloon Books, I decided to create a poem from the spine of books on my shelves. I suspect this is the first of many to come since April is National Poetry Month. Let me know what you think. I am pretty proud that I was able to use two Hemingway titles and a Steinbeck and a Markham. I am not going to lie, this was super fun and I think you should try it. If you do, please drop by and provide a link in the comments. If you post on Twitter or Tumblr or Facebook, use the tag #bookspinepoetry and include me in the link if you can. Have Fun. Beware it is somewhat addicting.
Any human heart,
For whom the bell tolls,
Love warps the mind a little.
Open Secrets,
Cascade,
West with the night.
The moon is down,
The sun also rises,
Where the heart is.
