The Librarian

The librarian walked a dusty road. Heading for the rodeo. Her glasses on The tip of her nose And her hair curled in a bun. She finally took a seat, Barely taking the heat. But in the mix Of all these things She was called out to the ring. She climbed up on The electronic bull Hoping she could bare Gravities great pull. The bull tossed her, And slung her to the dirt. And forced the librarian Back to her books.

I don't know if this actually happened or not but either way it is a beautiful metaphor of life. Yes, books and theory are very safe. But once you step out into the real world, you get jostled around. It is unavoidable. I love your vivid imagery! ...BH

I actually wrote this for my creative writing class in high school. We were given two random words and told to write a poem based on them. Mine were Librarian and Rodeo haha. I'm normally not very good at that kind of thing but I had fun with this one :)
