Challenge
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!

Kafka On the Shore
Sir Kafka, always tremendously calm,
sits on his beach towel, rubbing suntan lotion into his skin to avoid being blown to bits--
He uses his one and only vacation day to watch the apocalypse,
insists on donning a pair of shades because the self-destruction of the universe
is far too beautiful,
far too bright,
for a nightmarish man like him.
(Kafka On The Shore by Haruki Murakami, published in 2002)
