Follow Friday #47

Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read.

~This Week's Features:

~This Week's Question:
Activity: Spine Poetry. Create a line of poetry with your book spines (take a picture). Not feeling creative? Tell us about your favorite poem.


~My Answer:

First off...WOW! This is my first #FF in MONTHS!! It's crazy I know...I have definitely been slacking! So sorry guys! :D Same with #WOW's. Those will be starting up again too I promise! Its summer and I have more time on my hands!! :)
I am not a HUGE fan of poetry and I am terrible at it! Seriously. The last poem I wrote was atrocious to say the least. I mean I guess if I put more effort into it I might not be half as bad but its definitely not something that flows easily for me. So, that being said I am just gonna tell you about my favorite poems.
Where I am not talented in poetry, my cousin and best friend is! I love getting to read her poetry. Its amazing and so true to her. Its brilliant!
I do have a favorite poem that is well known but...I can't remember the title or author. Ya, I suck. I could point it out if I saw it but I can't recite it. It has to do with a dark lake and a woman lost. Its darker and a little creepy just because of the setting the author portrays and the words he uses but its rather beautiful. Something about the fluidly and haunting tone gets to me everytime!

What about you?
Leave your links below! :)
Happy Friday! Have a great weekend!!

  1. Hi, I'm Nova! You probably haven't heard of me. I'm going out of my way to be more social (@NovaBlogder on twitter... Trying to tweet more.) That being said...

    Hm... Not sure which poem you're talking about. Is it by Edgar Allan Poe, perhaps? I feel like he's good with all the creepy stuff.

    Anyway, this is my first F&FF ever... Like Ever. So don't worry, you aren't alone.

    Followed!

    1. Hi Nova! Being social is a toughy for bloggers sometimes! I remember having the same problems! (still need to work on my bloggy social skills!)

      I think it might be. He IS known for his creepy poems1 ;D

      Well, its not my first...just my first in MONTHS! I totally started slacking on the memes! It is horrible! But WELCOME TO FOLLOW FRIDAY!

  11. I'm not super into poetry either, but I do have a few favorites that have stuck with me. I picked a poem this week, since creating is definitely not my style.

    1. I like it but its not a passion of mine. Its not something I go seeking for. I do have an appreciation for it though. Both because I know I could never create something so great and because sometimes they are so beautiful and lyrical. I tend to like the darker setting ones haha creepy!! ;)

      Happy Friday! Thanks for stopping by! :)
