Lené Gary from the blog Counting Petals was kind enough to send me 
the following link to a site displaying spine poetry, the process of creating 

a poem by making a stack of books and reading the spines. I actually 
found this  to be a fascinating progress. It was almost a physical manifestation

 of the process of editing a poem described in Ted Kooser's wonderful 

book The Poetry Home Repair Manual in which ( my interpretation) 
you might move the first line to the end or vice versus or remove

 lines entirely even it is the best single line in the poem or the line that was 
the original impetus for the poem if it prevents the overall

 poem from jelling. I have done this in my own work and felt 
it helped and I removed and rearranged books here for

 the same reasons. I also think this would be a great way 

to get your creative juices flowing before you own writing.
So here are my versions of spine poems. I suspect I will

 create more. Since I used my collection of SF, horror, fantasy and 

poetry  the poems may have a bit of a morbid cast

( insert Vincent Price like evil cackle here ) enjoy.
