Bout of Books Read-a-Thon: Book Spine Poetry Challenge!

Thanks to the Book Goonie for hosting this creative challenge! She’s asked participants to create a book spine haiku, which is a three-line poem of 5 syllable-7 syllable-5 syllable counts. Yikes! This is a challenge worth taking!
Here’s my Book Spine Haiku (well, at least I attempted at creating one…not sure if it’s right.):

Hush, hush…Eat, pray, love.
