Book Spine Poems

In class we do a different kind of poem every few weeks, and these two weeks we are doing Book Spine Poetry. You make a Book Spine Poem by finding books and stacking them on top of each other to make a poem. We play around with the different combinations until they make sense like this one:

The things I like about my Book Spine Poem are: how it makes sense because in this poem, what it means is that sisters smile in the place where the wild things are,I also like how it tells a story. I like it because its weird because if you were in the place where the wild things are you would probably run or hide, not smile. I also like it because it is interesting that two of the books (SISTERS, and SMILE) are in the same series.

To make my Book Spine Poem I had to: look online for books, then when I finally found two books that I thought made sense together one of them did not go well with any other book so I had to find another book. Than I found one that finally made sense with the one that made sense from the first two, so I put the words together, and it worked. But I wanted my Book Spine Poem to be longer than two books, so I looked around some more, and found another Book Spine Poem that I saw several times. In it I saw a book that worked perfectly with my Book Spine Poem the title of that book with my Book Spine Poem and what happened??????????????? IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So then I went to the library and put the spines of the books together and made the Book Spine Poem.

By being limited with only book tittles, it was hard to make my Book Spine Poem because: I could not make the poem make sense because most books didn’t have the exact words I needed. Also there where to many books, so I could not see all the tittles because it would take to long. Its hard to put it in an order that makes sense because you can put the books you choose in so many different combinations.

 

 

 

Book spine poems

We have been making poems in class every week, but the most interesting kind of poems that we’ve studied are Book Spine poems. A book spine poem is when you take a few books with titles that could form a sentence, and stack them on top of each other to make a poem. Here are two I did myself:

It was very fun finding the right book titles to fit my poem. Usually when I’m at the library, I’ll just look for things I know I want, and won’t look at other sections of the library. But when I’m looking for the book spine poems, I discover more books that actually look interesting and that I wouldn’t notice before. But, its was hard to find the right books for my poem because I was limited to only the books in the library.

I hope you will try to make your own book spine poems too!

 

Book Spine Poetry

We have been making different kinds of poetry during the weeks so this week we did Book Spine Poetry

Book Spine Poetry is regular poetry but with book spines!

 

Basically you remember the titles on the spines of books? Well those titles on the spines of the books are what you use to make Book Spine Poetry!

This is what my finished Book Spine Poetry looks like.

 

 

The process of doing the Book Spine Poem was interesting and fun because you don’t have every single word at your disposal so you would have to would have to find the appropriate books for your Book Spine Poem and make do.

 

So to wrap this all up I think that Book Spine Poetry is a very interesting type of poetry and I think I would be happy to do it again! Thank you for reading this post.
