Books

There's something about books that mesmerize, A gripping story or some poetry there. Hours slip by, before one could realize A book held one captive, the day's over! Books seem to take us to those places where There's another world we get to travel And where we meet people in a novel. Cynthia Buhain-Baello~~02.17.16 Rhyme royal poem - 7 lines in iambic pentameter, rhyme format abab/bcc (quatrain and tercet) The rhyme royal stanza consists of seven lines, usually in iambic pentameter. The rhyme scheme is a-b-a-b-b-c-c. In practice, the stanza can be constructed either as a tercet and two couplets (a-b-a, b-b, c-c) or a quatrain and a tercet (a-b-a-b, b-c-c).

Thank you Gordon. I read a lot of books, the real one, and the best one -the Bible (read it from Genesis to Exodus). At a young age. I was disciplined by my father to read novels and poetry instead of comic books about Spiderman, Superman and Batman. Today I seem to bu books more than expensive clothes but it is worth it. Great food for the mind.
