Use the title of a book you read or are reading as a prompt to create a poem. Be as creative as possible. The poem doesn't have to relate to the story in the book you chose. Italicize or bold the title of the book where it appears in your poem. At the end of your write or at the comments section, you can include the details of the book (title, author, date of publication) so that others can search for it if they are interested! Have fun!

Wed To The Texas Outlaw

I find myself in the family way

furious, they make me pay

wed to the Texas outlaw I find myself

no longer on the shelf

but bad man he ain't 

one could even call him a saint

wed to the Texas outlaw I find myself

and he is no elf

tall and broad shouldered, a viking you could say

never do I regret that day 

sometimes I nearly faint

I nearly lost the chance to have this life, sweet and quaint
