Ode To Books

A treasure chest of memories,
caught between the pages,
cart loads of wisdom,
from across the ages,

Fantasy, romance, horror, history,
countless tales shrouded in mystery,

Each one a window to another world,
it doesn't matter if you're a boy or girl,
each one takes you to wonderful places,
full of faeries, magic and aces,

Reading's not hard,
It takes barely a glance,
open your mind,
give books a chance,

The possibilities are endless, just take a look,
choose a tale, and open the book.

I am sure that every poet is a fan of books so it is not surprising to see you writing about it. A year from now, I completed my 80th novel, I mostly like suspense ones and then came my school, decided to go for literature, whoops it throw me from one place to another, I was just coping with it, then came Shakespeare(Macbeth) and destruction is the right word to describe it, anyways I have recently given my literature exam, hope that I manage to get an A*, good luck and have a really nice day

I love blank books as much as full ones. Whenever I buy a notebook, it's days before I can bring myself to write a single word.

How I love to read aloud to children and watch their faces spellbound in the story. Reading is the best thing we can teach our children, something that can transport you to another world whist sitting still. I love this poem Ella.

Yeah, I still remember when my mum used to read aloud to me every day. She is the reason I am so into books.
