Book(Poem)-Spine Poem
(inspired by so many of my blogging
peers-friends skillful in this)
All quiet on the Western front
A confederacy of dunces
The charge of the Light Brigade
The crying of Lot 49
Diving into the wreck
Hamlet
Dandelion wine
Something wicked this way comes
And then there were none
Ship of fools
On the beach
We
Brave New World
A is for alibi
Because I could not stop for death
The cry of the children
A sad heart at the supermarket
Goblin market

Absolutely wonderful. I loved your book spine poem. I was happy I recognized many of the titles! And very clever to use the names of poems too!

I appreciate your response, Mandi. I wasn’t sure if I were somehow cheating with poem titles. But once they came to mind, I found I didn’t want to release them. Thanks for your affirmation.

P.S.
So love to see And Then There Were None! That’s the creepiest novel I have read! 😀

Thank you! And I agree–it is a creepy novel. The movies I’ve seen have tried to make the story nicer.

Oh. I haven’t seen the movie yet.

There are two movies that I know of from long (and longer) ago. Since each film tries to create an ending contrary to the original story, I can’t recommend them except out of interest. British television has just debuted another film version now. I haven’t seen that, so I don’t know how they treat Christie’s original text.
