Getting Tactile: my spine poem

At a workshop Maria and I took a few months ago, we were challenged / encouraged / prompted to consider creating a “spine poem” as a possible, think-outside-the-box way to write poetry. We have since challenged each other to create our own.

You’ll find Maria’s at the end of the post she wrote about the workshop.

Beckie shared hers last month.

My turn.

I rummaged around my house, pulling titles from from my bedside table, the basement bookshelf, the living room end table. Books I haven’t looked at for a loooong time.

I played with the order, added titles, took some out, put them back in. Set up the photo. Changed the set up. Changed it again. Took stuff out of the background. Re-positioned.

It was tactile, visceral, energizing, playful creativity.

I highly recommend it.

Eat mangoes naked
Color me HAPPY

Untamed, big magic
Daring greatly
