Book spine poetry: The Pilgrim's Progress

Jean has tagged me in a book spine poetry meme.  Ali had done some.  Here are some other examples.

And here's mine.  The top book is the title.


The Pilgrim's Progress

What am I doing here?
Please understand me,
Hard times.
Calm my anxious heart.
Stirrings of the soul,
Sometimes gladness,
Surprised by joy,
O love that will not let me go,
A fortunate life.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Now to tag some others.  Here are the rules.
  • Create a book spine poem.
  • Take a picture.
  • Post it on your blog.
  • Link back to this post.
  • Tag another blogger, or two, or ten.
Tagging Matt, Rebecca, Ally, Jenny, Karen, Sharon, Amy, Sarah and Wendy.

And if there is anyone out there who doesn't have a blog but wants to have a go, feel free to send me your photo in an email and I will post it here for you.

Perfect, Meredith. Brilliant poem! Did it take you ages?!?!?!?!?

Thanks Sal. Actually, it didn't take long at all. Once I my eye fell upon "What am I doing here?" it was all pretty straight forward after that. Apart from one book, they were all selected from a set of shelves in the one room, in a matter of a very few minutes. I was expecting it to take longer. It was pretty good fun.

That's brilliant, Meredith! :)

I will have a go.

Meredith said...

Great Sarah. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Sharon said...

A great idea... the only problem is, all my books are presently in boxes getting ready for our removal in 3 1/2 weeks! I'll see what I can do.

How exciting Sharon. I can wait until you get unpacked at the other end. Congratulations on the new position. Hooray!
