Notes About The Poem

Book Withdrawal

BOOK WITHDRAWAL

Mildew wafting from a single page,
in a cardboard box filled with library books.
I decide which ones to stage,
seek crannies and nooks,
but first I find the stinker and dispel dirty looks.

Oh that was good; they're everywhere; some feel that it's a part of their charm.
