Making a poetry book allows a writer to have a hard copy compilation of all their poems. I am passionate about writing and reading poetry because it is therapeutic to me. Intertwining written words with a form of art makes for a truly creative poetry book. Writing poetry allows me to create a piece of artwork while emptying my emotions on paper.
Personalizing my poetry book makes it even more valuable to me. It is a piece of me that will someday be history. Leaving something for my great, great grandchildren of the future to see a glimpse of who I was.

I must point out how I appreciate the way buttons are multipurpose. Buttons can be used for so much more than just clothing. When I purchased my poetry book, I initially chose the owl design because I think owls are adorable creatures of the night. When I brought the book home, I was pleased to realize the buttons I had stashed in my craft drawer would fit perfectly in the middle of the snowflakes. I believe them to be snowflakes yet they could also be flowers. Since I added a snow effect with the white marker, I will stick with the snowflake theory.
In the same way you can make a poetry book for yourself, you can also make one as a gift for a friend, family member or loved one. The book can be used as a journal or memory book, rather than a poetry book if desired.

Favorite Quotes
Write your favorite quotes at the top of each page. Some of my favorite quotes are included for ideas and inspiration.
Use famous quotes, your own quotes or a combination.
Add Artwork
Add artwork to your book, if you enjoy art. If the paper is thin, you will want to use drawing paper or card stock, then glue it into the book with a glue stick. This can also be done with rubber stamps or cutting pictures out of magazines. Your imagination is your only limitation.
For some of my most heartfelt poetry read A Dark Shakespearean Sonnet: Black Rose or Villanelle: Crystalline Tears Water Garden Thorns of Emerald.
