Random question. Is it possible to get two entries or one? You said one entry for a photo and one entry for just a poem. Can you do both and have them be different poems?

I Don't Want To Kill You

I really liked this idea. Here is my poem!The last battle,
Running loose.

Out of the dust.
Forgotten God,
Foreign to familiar,
Beautiful.
Hunger,
Forbidden doors,
Fallen angels,

Atonement,
Forever.
I did it based on things I read in January, so it isn't epic, but it's okay. :)Such a Pretty Girl
living in the dark
Winter masques
at graves end:
Apocalypse.
I might add one later made from books I own.
I'll give it a go, I have7 books. I already picked what I was reading for January, so hopefully it's not too bad of a poem. Jez & Morgeads night out,
A Touch Morbid,
Those who Favour Fire,
Born in Flames
Bound
Being Mrs. Dracula
Such Wicked Intent
Well, I've never been much of a poet but here goes:
Juliet,
Beautiful Disaster
Dead Eyes, Hold Tight
Halfway to the Grave.

Yeah, it is. It was fun to try to juggle all the books around to make something that wasn't complete gibberish. :)

I did get rid if some books but I can't get rid if my Stephen king ones because my dad got them all for me, every single one. He would go into old bookstores to find them even while he was away for work, so I am never getting rid of them. :) dorky I know!

I have a Stephen King collection started by my mother, added to by my father who passed away and I am adding to it now. If I have my way my children will inherit the collection. There is nothing wrong wit that at ALL.
You all are making me wish my parents were in to Stephen King. My only memory of Stephen King was my brother bugging my mom to let him read one (after he saw her reading Carrie, I think). She finally capitulated and let him read one he chose from the library. He chose "It." He was eleven or so. He had nightmares for weeks. Yeah. I didn't read any Stephen King until the Green Mile came out, that's how well I remember the nightmares he had... :P

So here is the challenge: Book Spine Poetry.
Yep, you heard it. What you need to do is make a poem out of book titles. Here is my example that I used for the read-a-thon:
Choosing to see
Things that are
Changeless
Eclipse
Things not seen
So, go get your books, make some Book Spine Poetry, and share!
To be entered into the contest:
1 entry for making a poem out of book titles you own - or use books from here on your GR shelves if you do not actually own any physical books
1 entry for actually posting a picture!
If you have never posted pictures on here, Photobucket is what I use and it makes it really easy. Sign up for a free Photobucket account, upload your photo, and it automatically creates an HTML code which you can copy and paste directly into the comment box. Super easy.
I will draw a name randomly from all the entries on January 31. Winner will get a $10 gift card from either Amazon or B&N, so make sure you can use one of those sites!
Thanks for playing!
