I'll go first...

 

Make your own Book Poetry!

In honor of National Poetry Month I have created my own bit of verse. I chose books from my shelf that sounded like spring and put them together. In case you can't read sideways here's what my poem says:

 

Shadows on the rock

Gone with the wind

                                                         A walk in the woods

                                                                                                                Just listen

 Enter your book poem at my blog for a chance to win an uncorrected proof of Robert Hass' The Apple Trees at Olema (2010). Hass is a winner of the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize and served as Poet Laureate of the U.S. from 1995-'97. In addition to Hass's book the winner will receive a gently used copy of Emily Dickinson: Selected Poems.

 

Open through April 30th to U.S. Residents.
