Random Fridays: Book Title Poetry

http://bookworm716.blogspot.com/
Hey'a, everyone! It's been a while since I participated in Random Fridays, but this week's topic, I couldn't resist. Emma's introduced me to the idea of book title poetry, and I thought I'd give it a try. The following poems are meant to be read as parts of the same story- though each can, I believe, stand on its own.

(And yes, I know, I might've cheated a little on adding words. I think it's ok, though.)

Act I
[A] Golden Daughter
By darkness hid,
Writing magic:
Words of radiance
[Turning]
Black
[To] white.

Act II
The Hero of Ages,
[Turned from]
The way of kings
[By] a swiftly tilting planet,
[Now] out of darkness rising.

Act III
Illusionarium
[Shattered by the]
Orphan's Song;
The ravaged realm
From darkness won
[By] the return of the king.
I hope you enjoyed these! (And that I might've inspired you to create some title poetry of your own!)
Thanks for reading!

  2. What an interesting idea! I like what you've got here.

    I might try this... but I can also see myself getting distracted by trying to make the poems rhyme. I'm not so great at free verse. 0.0

    1. Thank you very much!

      You should try! And yeah, free verse can be hard. But it gets easier, IMO.

    Hm, yours turned out better.
    I also like how you connected the poems with acts. That's very creative, the whole thing!

I'd love to hear your thoughts! But remember: it pays to be polite to dragons.
