She was running a little contest where you had to create a poem from the titles of books and then take a photo of the books you'd used. It really caught my attention and I quite literally dropped what I was doing and started scouring the shelves of my library (er, couple of book shelves actually).
Here is my entry which, I thought was rather good until I saw the quality of the other entrants:
A
long way down
the
road of love
more
tales of the city
were
burning bright.
A
spot of bother
saw
them
behaving
badly.
One
day
with
nails sharpened
came
the slap
Safe
retreat with friends, lovers and chocolate
Just
like the way we wore
the
comfort of strangers
like
a nice jumper.
Happy
now
dead
sexy
in
the blue afternoon
women
in love
are
starting over.
There were something like 200 entrants so I'm not upset that I didn't win :-(
The winner's poem was amazing and you can look through all the entries and the winning poem on Janet Reid's blog.
