Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

My Love Affair With Books

Books are a marvellous learning tool
so much info that one can gain
for your benefit and own satisfaction
it's amazing what can be stored in the brain

So many different types and kinds
some paperback and hardback to choose
new in this tech age you get ebooks
on kindle its so simply easy to use

There's something special in even a touch
especially hardbacks seem lovely to hold
so very much like a woman of beauty
you don't want to let it go just wish to behold

Many a book are slim and shapely
reminds one of that girl you used to know
having lost your effect on such a beauty
memories of romantic nights sensually aglow

My favs are God centred, bio and history
books that take me on a love affair
hold me in their grasp so very tight
full of pages that pin me in my chair

Kathy Anderson November 22, 2020 at 2:05 PM I love books, although not with religious fervor. I'm not religious at all. I understand where you're coming from though. Nice thoughts!

Jennifer Proxenos November 1, 2020 at 8:35 AM I love this poem Gordon, and although in this day and age we only have to say, hey google find.... or tell me about..... and hey presto, there comes your answer, but books I love as well, I have kept all my study books from both my degrees but I think I told you that one of my majors in my 1st degree was The history of the Bible and for my honors my thesis was on the Spirituality of the New Testament. Loved your poem. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Gordon Mcconnell November 1, 2020 at 9:31 AM Thanks once again Jenny, glad you loved this one and agree with your sentiments on books especially your study books as sure you'll probably have opportunity to go back to them. Blessings and hugs,Gordon
