For today's Get Up Offa That Slump post, I'm going to do book spine poetry! I have done book spine poetry one other time for the Love-A-Thon and thought it was so fun! So I'm going to try it again!

Once again, my book spine poem turned out to be more of a story. I was really aiming for more of a poem this time, but I guess I just like telling stories about evil queens with my book spines because that's what I feel like I got again.

So, what I feel like I'm trying to say with this is:

The Shadow Queen ensnared the bitter [I'm gonna say bitter like it's really cold] kingdom. Ice like fire, burning glass. Falling kingdoms splintered.

Then there's defiance from the star-touched queen, brightly woven she unhinged the reign of shadows. First comes her wrath and then with the dawn comes the v-word [victory]. They lived strange and ever after.

I mostly threw Brightly Woven in there because it sounded pretty. I don't really know what I would have it mean.

There you have it! My newest book spine poetry story masterpiece! I think that this time I had a harder time getting a picture I liked than getting a poem I liked. But overall, I feel pretty good about my work!

What do you think of my book spine poem? :)

Love-A-Thon 2016: Mini Challenge #3

Hello lovely readers! I'm here with Mini Challenge #3 of the Love-A-Thon hosted by Alexa, Cee, Hazel, and Mel!

The third mini challenge is Book Spine Poetry! At first I thought that this was going to be no fun because I didn't think I had the creativity or library resources to come up with anything good, but once I really got into it and started planning it, I started to sing a different tune! I think that what I came up with is actually pretty sweet!

Okay, so when I was putting this together, I was feeling like it was more of a book spine story than book spine poetry. It feels more like a story than poetry to me. Kind of your run of the mill, orphaned queen story, but a story all the same.

Basically what I was thinking when I put it together was:

The Midnight Queen was uprooted from her kingdom by a darker shade of magic that sieged and stormed the kingdom. The kingdom fell and panic and pandemonium ensued. Then through the dark comes the orphaned Queen on a road for vengeance, swearing death against the imposter Queen. There are violent ends and in the afterlight things all work out. 

Requiem felt like a final sounding word to put at the end. It kind of is, but the definition of it is 'an act or token of remembrance' or 'a celebration of the dead'. So along with it being the book title with the most final sounding word for a title, they're also celebrating getting their kingdom back and remembering the brave souls who died for the cause.

So, what do you think of my book spine poetry? Is it gold or what? :)
