All good writing begins with terrible first efforts. You need to start somewhere. ~Anne Lamott
What a Writer Needs
(is) Room to Write
(so make a) Small Change
(by looking through) A Different Mirror
(then) Escaping Into the Open
(riding the) Western Wind
(and) Crafting a Life
(that will make) Lasting Impressions
This book binding poem was inspired by another slicer. I have read so many posts this weekend I forget which one I “borrowed” this idea from. Thank you, whoever you are!

I really enjoyed your book spine poem. My favorites lines were “(so make a) Small Change
(by looking through) A Different Mirror.” It was cool that you made this poem by changing your perspective and using a different lens to write.

I LOVE your spine poem. I appreciate how you transcribed the photo and added in a few words as it made it even richer.

Thanks. I think I will try it with my 7th graders this week. We are in the middle of standardized testing, and this should be a fun diversion.
