the secret
this rough magic
the time of our time
imagine a place
paradise
chasing rumi
the name of the rose
a midsummer's night dream
the prophecies
of nostradamus
of nostradamus
east of the sun
west of the moon
abundance

This is a LATE response to Samuel's prompt over at dVerse Bar
Book Spine Poetry
These are books from my bedroom shelves. I suppose if I pick books from the girls' Young Adult collection it would be an apocalypse poetry!
I really like your selection -- it flows in such an effortless way -- a time capsule of awareness! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the breadcrumb, the visit and the comment --
Oh Becca, I love that - time capsule of awareness!
DeleteWelcome again to dVerse!
Ninot Ma'am,
ReplyDeleteA grand collection and smooth recollection of titles. Nicely!
Hank
Thank you Sir!
Deletenice...umberto eco! i like....
ReplyDeleteand i like how abundance is left hanging out there
giving it weight...
Thanks Brian! I loved this challenge by Sam. Sorry I could not participate more in dVerse these past few weeks. It has been kind of hectic.
DeleteWhat a richly contemplative stack of titles! Loved the poem you created from them.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sherry. Just some books I quickly picked of the shelves. I read the prophecies of nostradamus to practice my French!
DeleteHi Loredana! Buon giorno…I am fine. Last week ended with my book Hikayat being a finalist in Malaysia's first ever live telecasted national Book Awards in both English Adult Fiction and Most Popular book. So I should be happy. But there again, we writers are always chasing the elusive.
ReplyDeleteHow else can we improve. Yet the harder we try, the harder it gets :-)
Thank you for dropping by!

abundance...this is fantastic... an idea of location and then the abundance that kinda deepens and opens it..
Why, thank you Claudia! Imagine A Place and East of The Sun are lovely picture books for the kids, putting them here with all the books for adults was fun!
ReplyDeleteAbundance indeed Ninot ~ Lovely interesting titles & I think you should pick up the young ladies books too, smiles ~
ReplyDeleteFunny you should say that Grace. I just walked over to their room. Inkspell, The Book Thief, Dragonlores and The City of Dreaming Books have so much possibilities.
DeleteThe book titles are imaginative ~ Smiles all the way from Toronto ~
DeleteThis is wonderful! Books always transport you to another world, and this poem is similarly transportive, a magic carpet to faraway lands beyond the points of the compass, full of mystery and promise. Beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Sam. I adore your prompts and challenges - just the thing to bring me back to poetry when I am sidetracked with the 1001 things that life throws at us.
DeleteYou have written a wonderful 'spine poem, Ninot. Actually I would not have known it was a spine poem unless you mentioned it. Titles were masterfully arranged.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful response. You really fitted them well together.. Glad I visited :-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful response to the challenge. Love your titles - the poem they made is expansive, and thought provoking.
