Slam Poetry - Book edition

[Bird]

Caulder and I were hanging out the other day, and while I was perusing book lists and sharing really out there titles with him, we came up with this game!

Rules:

1. Go to goodreads or another site that has lists of book titles.
2. Try for a list that has at least 20 books.
3. Write a poem using only the titles.
4. Post it here or in the poetry section!

Start writing!

[Caulder Melhaire]

Okay, this was flipping tough but TONS of fun.   I might have cheated a little because I added in some extra words (prepositions?  Adpositions?) like and, for, to, of, etc.  Just using the titles came out a bit too abstract for my taste, but it's totally doable, if that's anyone else' style!

Here's my list:  Goodreads Best Crime/Mystery Books
 
And here's my poem:

---

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil,

Snow Falling on Cedars.

The Woman in White waits by The Elephant Tree.

Where Are the Children? Along Came a Spider!

The Bone Collector, and

The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie.

Rebecca, In Cold Blood, Presumed Innocent,

1st to Die.

The Ritual Bath - A Place of Execution.

The Thirteenth Tale of Sharp Objects,

A Study in Scarlet -

Naked in Death, on the Killing Floor.

Tell No One the Rules of Prey;

The Postman Always Rings Twice!

Child 44... Gone for good.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time;
A is for Alibi.
The Day of the Jackal, the Thin Man, the Surgeon.

Crime and Punishment for the Red Dragon

And Then There Were None,

but Angels and Demons, and Different Seasons.

Ooo-ooo, here's mine. This was weird and fun. I had to add/manipulate words too. Couldn't stand it.

Their eyes were watching God
and the color purple in the secret garden--
little women know why the caged bird sings:
it’s a handmaid’s tale, a wrinkle in time,
divergent.

Beloved,
the diary of a young girl
is persuasion
for the Awakening
of the lovely bones
in the night circus
and of the house
of spirits

This was quite the challenge.
I've italicized the words I was obliged to add in order to make it work.

This Woven Kingdom and
The War Of Two Queens.
