Monday Muse: Book Spine Poems

It has been some time since I shared any book-spine poems. Some of my new ones are below. 

Try writing some book-spine poems of your own for National Poetry Month; please share them in the Comments section. You need nothing more than titles of poetry collections and the imagination to arrange them.
