Poetry in Books

Agent Janet Reid hosted a contest to create a poem using book titles. Details here. Entries here. And here.

Mine:

Candor

Audrey, Wait!
The Truth About Forever is
it’s Something Like Fate.
This World We Live In is
So Much Closer
to the Fire
than the Dawn.
Just Listen,
Hush, Hush,
The Dead And The Gone
Fade
while Rebel Angels
Wake.

Across The Universe,
the Uninvited
Rot and Ruin in
The Dark And Hollow Places,
The Dead-Tossed Waves.
But Waiting For You is
a Fragile Eternity,
an Autumn Bridge,
A Northern Light.

The Last Days

Linger,
Unwind,
like A Kiss In Time:
Delicious,
Forever.
This Lullaby is because
I Most Wanted
Someone Like You
Along For The Ride.


Playing with books is fun. :)
