Leon Enriquez Poet Couplet

Book Sale

Bazaar and fair for worn-out books,
An old-time air of yellowed looks.


Random and odd like haunted hints,
Once sold and bought from dreary mint.


Covers now shout in lazy pace,
Fancy finds bout in display space.


Flavours once known lie in sad pile,
Pique fancy's own words in old style.


Feel paper print of thoughts distilled,
Charm in old mint of journeys tilled.


By this old mall sense busy plots,
Stray footsteps call on book sale lot.


A treasure hunt to seek bargains,
Knowledge greets grunts of curious strains.

Skat A January 4, 2016 at 11:29 AM thank you for sharing..do you have a bok out? Leon Enriquez January 4, 2016 at 4:18 PM Dear Skat: Thank you for reading my poem. My last book was in 1994 and called "A Singapore Tale: Places" and published about 20 years ago. The first was self-published in 1986 and titled "A Tincture of Iodine" and consist mostly of free verse poems. Thanks for asking. Both are OOPs -- Out-Of-Print!
