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.
