Book Title Poetry

by · September 18, 2011

Literary agent Janet Reid, is hosting a competition on her blog. Well, I should say was hosting, since the competition closed today. Inspired by Tahereh Mafi, she asked those entering to create a poem using titles of books. While some additional words could be used, each line of the poem had to contain a book title. Further, each entrant had to supply a photograph of the books with his/her entry. You can go to Janet’s site and see the ones she has posted so far. I’m by no means a poet, but this sounded fun, so I had a go. My entry should appear on Janet’s blog sometime in the not-too-distant future, but for those who can’t wait, here it is:

A PASSION FOR TRUTH,

a SECOND GLANCE

UNDER THE DOME,

LIKE MANDARIN

IN SEARCH OF DIGNITY,

THE LAST JUROR

was SURPRISED BY JOY

Spread the love
