Cobra Kai Writing Dojo c/o Dave Lucas - University Heights, Ohio (USA):

Syllabic redemption, a syntax
taste of dead white poets
dipped up to their necks in the candy coating.
The seals crack with the determination of youth.
The songs fizzle like Pam and bacon
Garbage-mouthed kids never sounded so sweet
Except when they really really try
to read the right book. Instead they watch the movie.

Jack Franz - Frankfurt, (Germany):

This book with your thumb jammed page
Marmalade, from a Sunday morning, long ago, pressed fast
Now my wish, to lick
Dried orange, your salty taste
Long ago, laid to rest

Alfred J Bruey - Jackson, MI (USA):

This book has been hollowed out so the librarian can hide her
    lunch from the ever-hungry library janitor.
This book wanted to be a box of chocolate candy so that
    rich elegant women would love it and hold it and fondle its
    contents.
This book was hidden in a hollow tree for hundreds of years
    until it was discovered and freed by a horde of rampaging druids.
This book is a music book that can sing, in four-part harmony,
    any song you can name while accompanying itself on the banjo.
This book gets by on only $1.00 allowance per week because it
    is so smart that the other books take it to lunch every
    day just to learn what it knows.

Sarolina Shen Chang - Canton, Michigan (USA):

This is the bedtime book I read to my daughters before and
    after they fell asleep
This is the book I lent to my best friend who remembered
    to return it but forgot to remove the bookmark, a $20 bill.
This is the book I lent to my best friend. She
    hated the ending so much that she rewrote it inside the back
    cover. I am not talking to her.
This is the book I lent to my best friend. She
    liked it so much that she xeroxed the whole book. Now
    she is in a copy right law suit. She claims I
    am the willing accomplice.
If you are planning on checking out this audio book for your
    vacation, make sure it's a 6 hours drive or flight. Because
    it takes that long to find out who loved whom, who married
    whom, who eventually died of what disease.

Susannah Getty - Lexington, ky (USA):

This book is a man's man's kind of book and tells a
    man's man's story; it's heroic, it's epic, with Gilgamesh written between the
    lines.
This book hasn't once torn the petals off daisies, doesn't know if
    you love it; it doesn't care and wouldn't admit it.
This book is required for myopics and those twice divorced.
This book will sprout hair on your chest -- please read with
    caution.
Sometimes this book still misses its mother and the dark wet of
    her womb.

Kevin W. Grossman - Santa Cruz, CA (USA):

This book just won't shut the hell up and I have to
    pee.

Denise Dunn - ABQ, NM (USA):

This is a book from the remainder table. It crooked its
    finger at me as I walked past and I will be in
    its debt for the remainder of my life.
There is no sign of life in this book but I keep
    trying to resuscitate it anyway, hoping for the best
This book was planted in our garden between two Early Girl tomatoes
    and became a delicious part of us 57 days later.
    We're going to plant more of them this year.
These books go well with the decor, but that's about it.

Ebene B. - Ft. Wayne, In. (USA):

this is your brain..... this is your brain on books.
This book was his to hook kids who look but cannot cook
    on a foot crook nook
book me tonigt and I'll book you tommorw cause I gotta finish
    this book that Al let me borrow
this is book smart
yeah, this book here, I downloaded..... that book there, I freeloaded

Robert L. Jones - Kemah, Texas (USA):

This book is written on blotting paper with a quill pen in
    vanishing ink.
This book is a Reader's Digest Condensed Edition of all the poems
    ever written..
This book is a black hole in the universe of letters.
Someday this book will explode into a dwarf star, after which it
    will become a black hole again.
I won't say this book sucks. It may, but it certainly absorbs.

deb warner - chapel hill, nc (USA):

This book is the only child of midwife Leonora Di Capellini, concieved
    at other women's bedsides, twin to every other new life she caught
    in her hands, birthed in a labor that lasted over 5 years.
Some pages can only be read after midnight, or at moments of
    great pain or joy.
This book knows secrets.
Sometimes, late at night, I hear this book singing softly to itself.
I do not recogize the language, but the tune is soothing.
Just put the book down, back away slowly, and no one gets
    hurt. Oh yes, and shut up.
Very good. Yes, well I have the gun, I am not
    required to be witty.
