Book Spine Poetry

Inspired by this pinboard from the Pima County Library, I decided to try my hand at a little book spine poetry! I don't consider myself very good at writing poetry, but Deborah Crombie and Jacqueline Winspear both have a lot of handily poetic titles.

this rough magic 

dead souls

kissed a sad goodbye quietly in their sleep

before the frost

upon a dark night among the mad

the delicate storm

when maidens mourn

the holy thief

the stolen child

have mercy on us all

children of God

what angels fear

leaving everything most loved

don't look back

now may you weep a sea of troubles

Have you ever made any book spine poetry?
