Last night, thunderstorms and a pot of evening coffee proved to be the perfect combination for pulling books off my shelves and making some more book title found poems. Here are a few of my latest creations:
The Arrival
In the lake of the woods,
strange little girls
wait ’till Helen comes
out of darkness
(beautiful darkness)
the girl from the well
extending the shade,
inhaling the silence.
Old friend from far away,
time you let me in.
*
Growing Pains
hard times,
brave new world–
the flag of childhood
catching fire
*
Why the Dwarf Had to Be Shot
Miss Nelson is missing!
The walls around us red as blood,
the creeping shadow leaving a trace
a darker shade of magic.
Mortal coils fuel
smoke from this alter.
All that lives must die.
I am not a serial killer.
*
Journaling the Apocalypse
Vampires in the lemon grove
howl the sound of water.
Snugglepot and Cuddlepie
speak of the devil.
Places left unfinished at the time of creation
linger
The sky is everywhere
when you are engulfed in flames.

Oh my God, that ending in that last one. These are some good stormy night found poems. My favorites are the first and second.
Thanks! It’s always a fun process. 🙂
These are fantastic! You know how much I love book title poems. You’ve reinvigorated me. Maybe I’ll do some more soon! Happy to see SLG in there, too. That’s fun. 🙂
Thanks! Strange Little Girls is not only a great book but also great book title poem fodder! 🙂
