Write Poetry with Your Bookshelf

Take another look at the titles on your bookshelf (#bookspinepoetry). Do some of them speak to you beyond describing the book itself? They will for sure if you start thinking about them in poems of your own making. I’ve done a brief, four-line poem with the books shown. The poem would look like this:
In the bleak midwinter,
Listen to the warm–
Selling the invisible
By cunning & craft.
This was a neat idea I first learned about from someone’s tweet awhile back. Wish I could remember who, to credit him/her. In lieu of that, I link here to a detailed blog on the subject. Ms. Neugebauer’s rules are for the seriously devoted title-poet. I didn’t follow them, because I “wrote my poem” before I’d seen her blog. Plus I’m a bit lazier than she. At the end of her post, she lists other sites where you can see others’ poems. (All but one of the links are still good; the “Poetry” link is out of date.)
So, is there a poem or two or three on your shelves? Do share.

My name is Meredith Rutter (sometimes Meredith Ann Rutter). My entire working life has been devoted to creating books, in part or in whole. I worked from the ground up. Fresh out of Tufts University with a B.S. in zoology, I took a secretarial position in the high-school science department at an educational (textbook) publishing house in Boston, Mass. With its filing and recording tasks, the job was an ideal way to get a hands-on overview of what each level job involved. From the start, I memorized Chicago Press’s A Manual of Style and took to proofreading like a hippie to dope. As a writer, I’m working on memoir material and suspense fiction. My first publication is titled The Cleveland Rutters. You can learn more about it on my website http://yoursinbooks.com. I still have much to learn as a writer, especially when it comes to fiction. I’m working at it, though, and loving it just as much as every other aspect of books I’ve been involved in. More Posts - Website - Twitter

Hi Meredith! I got a pingback to this post. Thanks for sharing my link, and for letting me know that one of the outgoing links had gone bad. I’ve updated it with one to this post instead. =)
Thanks for letting me know you saw the post, Annie. I meant to alert you directly but then got sidetracked. Also, wow, thanks for linking back in your updated post!
