Books

Books

everywhere,

open one

and hear the sounds of

a market in Cairo.

Open one

and smell the crisp air

of the mountains.

Open one

and see the torrential rain in London.

Open one


Pen to Paper

By Alexandra Miller

Pencil joins with paper.

At once, a

pattern of words

begins to flow

and spread

about the page

stories of another world

of creatures

unknown to man

of sports played

on the moon alone


Pages

By Alexandra Miller

Crack the spine loudly.

Savor the pages fragrance

Consume the content.



Turn the pages slowly.

Continue reading aloud.

Voice calls me away.



Return to the book.

Curling up to read again


Quoteworthy

By Eric Gunnarson

Let us lift that burden off our shoulders

And stand straight and tall.

We are and always will be

perfectly imperfect.
