Now, that last call I was talking about. In honor of National Poetry Month I’m posting a gallery of book spine poems on Monday, April 2. If you give it a try, snap a picture and send it to me at scopenotes at gmail dot com. If you try book spine poetry with kids and send me the results, I’ll add them to the post too.

Hi, Travis. That last line/spine reminds me of William Carlos Williams’ poem “This is just to say.” The book spine poems are always fun to read.
I don’t know if you’ve read the Mighty Miss Malone, but this book spine poem fits her very well. And, great to find meaning in only 3 titles. Thanks! Looking forward to your poem share!
