Book Spine Poetry

My local library has issued a book spine poetry contest asking patrons to use the titles of books they have in their house to create a poem in honor of National Poetry Month.
This was a fun and interesting challenge, and perhaps a little harder than I expected since there is an extreme lack of verbs in most of my book titles (or if they exist as part of a title then it is harder to work that into a coherent poem). But after looking at my shelves for a bit I was able to come up with something, and here is the result of my endeavors.
