I Met a Poetess At the Book Store

Before this virus came around On Saturday's I'd go to the mall One of the places I like to go first Would be the bookstore to enter I would look for poet's poetry books There are lots of books to choose from As I walk through the aisles- I noticed someone sitting at a table She had piles of books stacked high So i chose a chose a book and read It was titled Love-I bought it The author and I chatted Then she signed her book Her name is Beleza Angel The title was Pieces of Me Will be a book i will always keep This will be a special book I met a poetess she wrote poems She published her poems Beleza Angel a book keepsake She is on instagram & Facebook
