an introduction to legal reasoning – A Stack Poem
Taking a quick break at work and decided to see if I could “write” another stack poem with the books on my bookshelf in my office. This is what I came up with.

Today I learned something new! Until now I had never heard of a stack poem. Now I am wondering what kind of stack poetry I could come up with, especially in my newly acquired theological library (on loan from a professor who moved to Canada – 19 banker’s boxes full). I could easily read from my own shelves of books, but wouldn’t it be neat to open up a box and write a poem based on what was packed by someone else?
Anthony, That would be fun! Sounds like a great challenge. I hadn’t heard of a stack poem before last week either. I like the one title Mere Christianity that I wrote with the books from my home library, but this one was kind of fun, too. Peace, Linda
I actually read the “Fried” in the 1st spine as part of the title, so I got a happy layer of fried cheese & sharp teeth too. (I tried writing with my workplace books on sociology, erk, couldn’t find my way through — hats off to you!)
This is brilliant, humorous but with a rapier-sharp undercurrent of truth! Also shows that in the right hands, even the most unlikely book titles can be turned into biting verse.
Samuel, I always love your challenges / prompts, and this one was no exception. I appreciate the compliment on my writing skills as well. 🙂 Peace, Linda
This was way fun, Linda! Thanks for our smiles today! God bless you!
hahaha killer last line….smiles….
this is def the stereotype you have to live with..
i think i have read that one ..who moved my cheese… in german though..
That last title is just too funny …
It is a book of lawyer jokes. 😉
Love the last line. Great stack!
Too funny. Thanks. k.
I like the leap in concepts from cheese to reptiles.
calling lawyers reptiles is almost too kind to them. lol 🙂
Hey, watch it. I am a lawyer and I know quite a few good ones. For the rest, there’s the discipline dept where I work.
OK…I’ll admit that there are some good lawyers out there…but I’ve also met a few that make pond scum look good…
