To get things warmed up for National Poetry Month, I’m posting a book spine poem every Friday until April. Want to get in on the act? Maybe give it a shot with kids? Click here for some tips on creating your own.
If you do give it a go, take a picture and post it to your blog, or send it my way via email (scopenotes (at) gmail (dot) com). On Tuesday, April 2nd I’ll posting a gallery with all your work, and continue to add to it for the entire month.

Wonderful! I had forgotten about these, Travis. Almost time for poetry month means “book spine” poetry. What a tricky title “Bedtime Is Canceled” is.
Great idea, Travis! I’ll have to try my hand at this!
Such a clever idea and poem! “The Shadow on the Stairs” – my daughters have lived this! Thanks for sharing. =)
Love this tradition!
I have to try some of these!
Well, I didn’t get time to make one on Friday in the middle of hosting both PF and a big party, but I look forward to giving this “librarian’s special” a try.
Clever!
