Book Spine Poetry

In honor of National Poetry Month, here are two book spine poems for your enjoyment. 

First, a funny one:

 Dorothy must die!

Poison

Fire

The doom machine

And another thing...

Pure dead magic.

Then, one with a more wistful tone:

 Geektastic Fangirl,

Not exactly normal:

So you want to be a wizard?

Keep holding on.

CYBILS

I'm excited to announce that I'll be one of the CYBILS judges this year -- poetry, round 1! 

If you're not familiar with the Cybils, you can read all about them on their website.  I've kept an eye out for the results over the past few years, but this is the first year that I've participated on as a panelist.  I'm looking forward to it . . . and I imagine you will be seeing a higher-than-average amount of poetry reviews here over the next few months!

Forgive Me, I Meant To Do It: False Apology Poems by Gail Carson Levine

This Is Just To Say

I have read
your funny book
of false
apology poems

I liked them
but that's really
all I'm going
to say

Forgive me
I never was
very good at
reviewing poetry
