Read a book once.
It haunts me still.
Can’t remember the title,
the author,
or much about it.

Read a book once.
It changed everything.

So many levels in this one. It's a gem. It makes me think of being a child and realizing there was a whole other world to be found between the covers of a book

this is so intriguing. It makes me want to know how and why it was able to change you so dramatically. Very nice little poem.

Well Andrea, the how and why is always intermingled with the where and when. Thanks for stopping by.

I do like that. The poem starts of nonchalantly and then there is such emotion finally. I am left wondering what your book said. This is going to get a 7 from me (done) and a FAVE. Really, if that poem had been in a printed book, it would have to be on the first page.
