Occasional Book Spine Poetry #1: Kiss the Sky

Remember how last week we celebrated Lily Calloway's birthday? Well, today is Rose Calloway's birthday. I love this character to no end. Out of all the Calloway sisters, I'm the most like her and my personality, dreams, fears.. Let's just say that I can identify with her a lot. At first I wanted to have a discussion today: talk about strong women in fiction and use Rose as the prime example. When I started writing it though, I realized that there are so many other characters I want to portray as well and that the post would do injustice to them. So I thought hard over what to do today and had an Einstein moment *insert light bulb* where I came up with the most brilliant idea.. only to forget it.

YEP. HOW? I have no idea *shakes head* As hard as I tried, I could not remember that idea to save my life. Clearly, clearly someone is getting old. Needless to say I had a small panic attack yesterday, because Rose is one half of my OTP *waves a team Coballoway flag*, my favorite female character in the Addicted and Calloway Sisters series and one of my favorite female characters ever! Obviously I needed to do something to honor this character who helped me through some hard times this last semester at uni; inspired me to push myself further and further; who has given me so many feels while following her story.

For those of you who haven't had the pleasure to meet the fiercest Calloway sister yet, Rose is extremely smart. She loves knowledge. I wanted to do something fun for today. Something that Rose would perhaps appreciate. Since Connor and books are some of the things she loves the most in addition to her sisters, fashion and standing for women's rights, what better way to celebrate by creating a non-traditional book spine poem about the two nerds (read: Rose and Connor) on the same orbit. The following poem is inspired by Kiss the Sky, my favorite book in the whole series and tells the story of my OTP: Rose Calloway and Connor Cobalt. 

“I’m just excited for you,” I tell her. “It’s like a milestone in your relationship.” The orbiting nerd stars have finally collided. — Lily Calloway, Thrive.

 

Well, this was a long one :) In case any of you want to see the poem in writing, here it is, one more time:

Once upon a time

Under the Never Sky,

two strong, powerful and passionate souls

Crash, Clash, Crush

through

Days of Blood and Starlight

as they both try to come out on top and win the place on the

Throne of Glass

by

Pushing the Limits

of themselves and each other.

"I

Dare You To,"

he seems to be saying.

"Take Me On,"

he urges. She does.

Fire with Fire,

they fight and banter, until one day,

The Fiery Heart

that burns inside both of them, sets free their passion; enlightens their minds and souls.

Under

The Burning Sky,

that has replaced the once ‘Never Sky’, he murmurs:

"You can put your

Trust in Me.

Be with Me,"

he whispers. "Because

The Truth About Forever,"

they both say, "is that I will stand by you

Until I Die."

And that's a wrap on this post! Since this was super fun to do, I've decided to do this from time to time when the mood strikes and I feel so inspired by a book or its characters. Although, they'd be way shorter. I think. Would you guys even like this idea? Let me know! I hope you had fun reading this and see you tomorrow with my very late-ish July recap :) Cheers! x
