Slice of Life #20 Challenge Day 5/31:
Spine Poem Play
In the past I have written about my love of collecting words and phrases, arranging them, and simply dabbling with words. For me, creating Spine Poetry is pure play. My nerdy girl soul comes alive.
Fellow Slicers, Parent Teacher Conferences is tonight. No matter how great/meaningful the conversations I will engage in, it will be a long, exhausting day. So, I intentionally began today with writing play.
Below are two Spine Poems I created this morning. The first poem is based on a collection of books I am currently reading. The second originates from a group of professional books, who all happen to be written by educational professionals I especially admire.

I have created Spine Poetry before; it's always a bit addicting, yet rewarding. Below are links of past posts I have written that also include my Spine Poetry:

Spine poetry is a wonderful way to begin a long day. I hope the conferences go well and the day feels short. Love seeing that list of professional books formed into a poem. You chose some good ones.
