Librorum Amans
(An inquisitive voice whispers)
Do you too like reading to escape for a few hours
Through poetry's heavily laden chest
Containing shiny jewels of such priceless wonders and visual experiences
Waiting for eager minds to run through like the Greek goddess of running
Atalanta
Tempting inquisitive eyes to wait in line
To be hypnotised forever
by enchanted words
Cast within imaginations thunder
To then hold minds
In primordial bondage
Caught and captured in gilded written cages
In lucid imagery flowing through the pages
To then be captivated for a few hours by written spells to beguile
Through ethereal carefully crafted citadels
Surrounded with such hypnotic wonders
Could that be why you love poetry
And books like a heavily laden chest
Filled with mesmerising dreamscapes
To always fill you with joy and wonder
So my question for you
Readers of old and readers of new
Who’s your favourite author or poet
Who always takes you under
