Book Spine Poetry

Something new and fun....poetry, made by stacking books, with the titles on the spines showing to make a little poem, or a big poem for that matter!  When i saw this, i thought, “oh, no!  I am going to get thrown out of the local library for sure now!”, but i vowed i was going to give it a try.
Silly me....all i had to do was go upstairs to throw my laundry in the dryer, pass my bookshelf, and there on the shelves was my first ever Book Spine Poem.  It may not be a classic.....or even close ;), but it was fun to do and i will do more when i get the time.
I hope you enjoy my little try at this, and that you give it a try yourself... it sparks the creative and stokes the need to try new and different things! Thank you Kim, for always inspiring!!

Focus

....ahhhh, yes.  Focus.   Something that at times is so elusive to me. This time it is not my excuse for lagging so far behind in my Beyond Layers class.  My Mac has been giving me fits with strange glitches and the Mac Geniuses had this brilliant idea that it should go to the Mac Hospital for ....oh, 5 excruciating days that turned into 9 horrendously excruciating days....each of which put me further behind on things that desperately needed doing. I got the Mac back...i Macnapped it on Wednesday evening, just in time to head down to Virginia (a 5 hour drive) to help with my oldest daughter’s baby shower.  My weekend has schedule has given new meaning to juggling time...as i find myself desperately trying to do several things at one time...including FOCUS!  i become very scattered when i have so many balls in the air!  Tonight, i decided i had had enough of spreading myself so thin....and after dinner, i excused myself to concentrate on just ONE thing.  Getting ONE of the 6 assignments i missed finished.  it is now 1:30 am and FINALLY i have something to show for my efforts!  tomorrow there will be blessed little time to breathe, let alone create, but i am hopeful that tomorrow NIGHT i can steal away a wee bit early and FOCUS on another assignment...or possibly the short Bio i need to do for a donation i made of a piece of artwork for a fundraiser....right now i can finally FOCUS on my pillow and some sleep! :)
