Challenge: Book Spine Poetry hosted by bookgoonie @ bookgoonie

I’m crazy about Haikus. I love that they are short and sweet, kind of like a literary tweet. I thought the haiku format would provide a nice constraint to our Book Spine Poetry Challenge. Usually a haiku is about nature or feelings (but not necessary for our purposes) and they follow a 5-7-5 syllable format. Here is some more info about writing a haiku and some on Book Spine Poetry used in the classroom. I just did the chin test for my syllable count.

Oh dear, not poetry. I'm starting to think we are not meant to be, at least when writing it. Sitting this one out.
