Journey of My Life Thus Far

In place of bookmarks or turning the corner of the many empty pages of my autobiography I so wish to fill in to commemorate the journey and story of my life thus far I choose to use crestfallen autumnal leves i saved since last september Best described as colour fired desert opal grapefruit colour red And along my merry way to both humour me and provide me joy I keep a dictionary by my side for constant companionship So if cometh the day if i shall ever was to be asked to regail my story unto another passing stranger by Not of where i am going but rather where i have been and thing's that i have seen I manage to get my message across in the most eloquent of my ways And somehow make my dull and somewhat dreary life appear as it has never been viewed before Not simply a librarian but as a published author instead Worthy of gracing the page's of any brittle leather bound antiquity 1st edition fairytale Adorned with such illuminating word's its left entirely up to the imagination of the said readers mind The picture he or she wishes to paint and journey to explore

Quite a bleak reflection of your life is painted here Christopher, but hey your imagination is certainly not bleak but full of creativity and fantasy, and in the end that is exactly all anyone needs to write a great novel, some really fine imagery you treat us to, in another outstanding poem, cheers David
