Magic Worlds

Old books of tasty treasures give my life, so much pleasure. Building worlds so bright and deep, help me to read myself to sleep. I’ve sailed with pirates, the seven seas; cooked from books, with smashing recipes. Dante’s, “Inferno”, took me to Hades; was present when knights, received accolades. I’ve fought alongside of Hobbits and Elves, as the war to save Middle Earth swelled. In Narnia, I actually met, King Peter; no moment was actually any sweeter. I shadowed Alice, through the looking glass; as the Mad Hatter’s madness, slowly passed. Oh the weathered pages I’ve perused; so many books, so well-used.

As an avid reader, esp. now that I'm retired, I really enjoyed this poem. And it's so true: Books take you so many places (where otherwise you would often not be able to go). Nicely rhymed! :) gw

I just love your rhyming poems. Each one is an adventure that I enjoy perusing, as the books are to you that you write about.

Ah the journeys we have in books are truly irreplaceable memories. Every time you open the book it's instant teleportation to another world. This poem captures that magic and becomes true art. Thank you for sharing.
